Many training schools still use the rather old-fashioned idea of in-centre classes. Usually touted as a major benefit, if you talk to a student who has had to attend a few, don’t be surprised to be lectured on several if not all of these issues:
* There is often tension in many classes because students want to progress at their own pace.
* You can’t disregard the increased financial outlay of driving or taking public transport and over-night bed and breakfast either. This may well run to a lot of money – from hundreds to thousands. Do the maths yourself – it’ll shock and surprise you.
* Not wanting employers to know about the training can be high on the list of priorities to a lot of students. You don’t want to throw away any job advancement, wage increases or success at work because you’re getting trained in a different area. If your employer knows you’ve committed to certification in another area entirely, what will they think?
* How many of us have shied away from raising a hand in the air, because we didn’t want to look stupid?
* Working and living away – many attendees have to work or live somewhere else for part of their study. Workshops end up being very difficult then, unfortunately the money has already changed hands with your initial fees.
