scooby_simon, I did my Level 2 in March through New Gen. I sorted out my own accommodation for the two weeks of the course and stayed with Pleisure in 1550 for a week before whilst doing some training.
Pleisure are fine if you don't mind some late night noise at times. Rooms in their 1550 place (I forget the name just now) were adequate. Dinners were pretty good and breakfast was not too bad either. Great location, right next to the 1550 bubble up to 1850 where we generally met the trainer.

We met at the NewGen office in 1650 for evening lectures. As you say, they may try and hold lectures where most of the people on the course are staying.

It might be quite noisy staying in Le Praz, you'll probably be in the same chalet as the "gappies"
|
|

|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
|
musehead, do you know which chalet is gappie land? would want to avoid that one...
