Integrated Basic Training Courses in the College

MR LONGDEN'S article in your November issue, on College‐based, integrated basic training courses and the note on Mr C. R. English's speech at the Oxford Regional Advisory Conference about utilisation of colleges led to this letter. The interesting course commented upon by Mr Longden is presumably one he has organised at Mid‐Warwickshire College of Further Education. In my view, however, Mr Longden takes too restricted a view in only considering a year's course, instead of a much longer period, and I wish to expand on this.
