I'd suggest a couple of things, first dive and consolidate the skills you have learned up to this point in your diving. I think it's important to be able to conduct your dives up to the level of your training before proceeding.
Second, talk to your instructor and see if you can watch the course being conducted so you can see how the course is run and what it consists of. My instructor had no issues with this, as well as encouraging his certified recue divers to come back and participate in the future courses as well.
He would physically push students, not too hard, just enough so they know it will be work. Avoiding the need for a rescue, and the organization and teamwork needed for a successful rescue are the reasons for the training.
Seeing everyone's response, I am thinking of taking a peak performance buoyancy course first for two days and then moving on to this one after discussing with my instructor as well. Let me know if you have any other thoughts on best way to proceed about this.
