Regulator Technician Training - Unrestricted

Have you ever considered recording the class and offer it as recorded webinar? I have a hard time taking off the whole weekend for the course, but would love to take my time studying the recorded class in smaller chunks.

I took the class and while it is intense, I don't think that just watching it as a webinar would be as useful as doing live. Now, the added benefit of the class is that Rob offers the videos for download after you've taken the course!

Indeed it is a lot more useful to attent the live training. But if the alternative is not attenting at all, I would think it would still benefit alot.

You should all know that the entire course is over 18 hours long, over 2 1/2 days. There is no way I could expect someone to sit through videos of all that, the way it happens in an interactive forum.

Perhaps someday I can create a subscription service like Sidemounting.com with dozens of individual videos on select topics. A not-insubstantiable subscription cost might encourage the purchaser to view more than just a few topics, in order to "get their money's worth". In that way we could perhaps correct the tendency of many to learn just enough to get themselves into trouble. The indexed video of a prior course referred to above is supplied to previous participants only, who are asked to not share it.

I am philosophically opposed to one-way video training, because "one doesn't know what one doesn't know", and these very simple devices are indeed life support equipment, as overworked as that phrase may be. If I create a course like that, it will have to be a "soup to nuts" comprehensive offering so that it can't be argued that critical material was not covered. That will take a few years, so don't hold your breath. Sorry.

I think the course is incredible value as-is, since it already includes recordings of all the sessions. I wouldn't change the current format - if someone wants to buy the course, not attend, and then look through the recordings, I feel like that's on them.

Highly recommend this course. I did it once several years ago and would like to do it again.

Rob, I remember at one point you had mentioned being open to doing a weeknight evenings class, did you ever try that or is it still in the cards? It might be nice for anyone who can't do weekends or wants to split this up into more days of shorter classes.

Yeah why doesn't rsingler start a multiple country conglomerate in different languages
standing on his head, 24hr access, to cover those that are having difficulty with English
