Not sure if Steve Lee is still a member, but the last time I spoke to him, he was based in Exeter and I'm pretty certain he did Ingots training. I'd say he's probably a good person to speak to them about it. I'll hang on a little while for him to reply, and if he doesn't reply (if he's not on the list anymore or misses it) I'll send him a mail off list.

By the way, talking of Ingots, I found this on the School Forge UK list which I thought might be of interest...
