First I would like to say hello to everyone, this is my first post to the board. I've been peeping in for a few days now.
About about the two day course, I voted depends on Instructor/Student. I am an Independent PADI MSDT. I conduct Private 1on1 or Private Group (everyone knows one another) My prices are not cheap. 95% of all my students have been or are White Collar Professionals. I voted the way I did because Most of my students have all been to college and have good study habbits and easily grasp concepts. The 2 Day Course means they have to complete the self paced self study method. They may take 1 month to complete the course work prior to meeting at the pool or some take only two weeks, at any rate in my experience the course work is never a problem, it all comes down to the pool skills. Prior to the short course they are told due to the short time frame, if they fail to master the skills in the pool they will not be able to proceed to the Ocean with the group. And a make up fee will be imposed. SO I guess it comes down to the student/Instructor IMHO
