I know this keeps popping up, but I haven't seen a thread on this for
a while. Given that there have been so many lab changes since then
I'm asking again.
I live in the UK - I've put my lab date back three weeks to Dec8th and
while I am most certainly not working towards a first-time fail, I
know a first-time pass is unusual enough to want to look beyond this
at what happens if I need more attempts. I've come a long way towards
this goal, but I know there are holes in my ability so it might be
needed, but equally if I put it off until I am convinced I'm ready
without ever trying once then maybe I'll never go at all.
In terms of style - I like hands-on, but personally need to understand
WHY something works. An answer like "because that's the way it is"
generally doesn't satisfy me and doesn't stay in my brain as well. I
want more than a course which gives me a pile of kit and a workbook to
plough through as I have that already at home. I want to have someone
view and criticise what I do and be able to answer all the daft
questions which I may have.
I am aware of Martin Shortland's Kinetic course, and Heinz Ulm's
course in Germany. These both seem to get good reviews - I've only
read one poor one on Groupstudy anyway. There are also courses by
Parity, Global Knowledge, Azlan, Netlogic to name those I'm aware of.
Can anyone give me feedback please on any of those courses if you've
attended them. If you prefer to email me offline, that's fine.
If I really push very hard I might be able to do a state-side course
but would have to justify to my employer why it is better than any of
the European options. Taking a money-no-object stance I'd be
interested in peoples' views (not that money is no object of course).
cheers + many thanks,
Danny
