After 10 years part-time with the same training organisation, I have been culled! Long story short, I refused to take a group of 9 lads through the 18th in a classroom situation back in June due to C19 ( I am at that age where I dont want to get the damn thing). So fair enough, in steps the PAT tutor. Good man he is too, not from an electrical background and wouldnt know the difference between an ACB and a SPD! Still, he presented a 3-day course that was well received, more especially since everyone passed. I have no idea of the content other than that it included hundreds of multiple-choice questions. Happy with the outcome, and also perhaps because the tutor was half a hundred cheaper than me per day, poor uncle Lyle has been dumped! Yes, my feathers are ruffled a tad but perhaps the course that I presented which, I felt, was grounded on good solid learning is really not the ticket for an industry that just wants success in an exam! Ah well, back to shopping in Lidl!
I'd bet that the students wouldn't have remembered a thing and would have struggled to pass a few days later.
In my time in RN, I had an ongoing tussle with the training wallahs. Their principle was that any (Powerpoint) presentation should be capable of being presented by anybody. The problem with that is that they put errors into my slides and of course if you are not a subject matter expert, you cannot answer any questions which may be posed.
I think that 'your' students were short changed, but I imagine that all they wanted was a tick in a box.
