help with mother's ATS service record

help please ,i have just got my mothers ATS records and i am struggling to decipher some of it especially the camps and the trade tests that she did if any one can help i will be most grateful

 

Fascinating that there are no redactions on her medical and dental record.

For abbreviations i rely on: WW2 Abbreviations and Acronyms | Researching the Lives and Records of WW2 Soldiers

Back later to have a closer look.

 

Frances Doreen Howse, b. 5/8/1923, Army No. W/93779.

If you search online with: "ATS" + "mixed" site:ww2talk.com it will identify a number of threads that explain what a mixed AA battery was; a few were deployed to protect Antwerp in 1944-1945. I have not searched for threads that mention any of the units id'd below.

I have only looked at the two sheets on pg.13 and skimmed those afterwards. Text in italics are my additions.
