I did a settling course in Leicester for Coral back in '89 or '90. After the six weeks we were all put into shops.
I think I did one of the last batch of settling courses before they did away with them as the EPOS tills were on the horizon. Mine was only a week though!
Oops, yup, was only a week or two. Did a croupier course at Grosvenor that was six weeks.
Can't remember the guy's name who did the Coral training. Was very camp.
