Actually the class was designed to be taught over two days and include all the products in the line and servicing of the inflators and dump valves on the wings, care and maintenance on the lights, dry suits, etc. It is supposed to cover all the regs including the D1, D2, D3, (plus the BP's if the students own those) and the second stages.
It can be done correctly in one day but that ends up being very long (Jack from HOG says for him it's a ten hour day and the students have to be quick on the uptake) once you go over all the preliminary stuff like the review of gas laws, oxygen handling concerns, how regs work as explained in the Reg Savvy Manual, plus the exam and review of it.
Normally it takes me a day and a half to cover everything. 9-5 the first day and 9-1 or so the second followed by a pool session to test the regs if one is available. Locally it is. When I travel to teach the class that is not always an option.
My certificate says EDGE/HOG Equipment Service Clinic Instructor. Not HOG regulator repair/rebuild instructor so it should cover all the gear in the line where service and maintenance is possible. That is what I was told in the Instructor class at DEMA in 2011 by Chris and Rod Pederson who was the IT for the class. I know there was some issue a while back where instructors were only teaching the regs and some only the D1 and second stage. That is not what the class was supposed to be.
