dog trainer courses

hi, im looking at doing a dog trainers course but dont know which one....im getting plenty of practical experience as i help out with local obedience classes etc but i want to do a course, i know there is no governing body and there are quite a few courses out there- next year i will be doing the apdt course but for the time being i was looking at doing some sort distance learning course...i had in mind the ADTB course which is mainly theory but then you do the practical asessments with an assessor after that.....anyone know whetehr it is any good? or any other course i could do?

CIDBT or compass-education might be suitable alternatives?

both have the same ethos, and if you go with cidbt, you'll get to meet ethel from Your Dogs magazine

Anything specific you want from the course?

Sarah Whitehead is good, and her courses cover a lot:
