Wow it sounds personal.
Actually, no disrespect to Paul at all.
But it seems that there should, would, and could be
more testimonials from someone (ANYONE) claiming to
guarantee a pass on only 6 weeks.
Either that or we have a lot of people who are
slacking for taking a lot longer even years to prep
(and this may well be the case).
However, I just witnessed ole H. U. do it in just 4
weeks for the guy with the "bloody-red eyes"...
So...
It is is not impossible.
However, the guy with the blood-red eyes also
attendede NLI previously and he had been to the lab
twice and was under severe duress to preform and he
did meet the challenge, but he had a lot on his mind.
So, I suppose if a properly motivated candidate took
the course over 6 weeks, was an adequately prepared
(experienced CCNP), and had the good study habits and
the capacity to learn quickly, then I'd suppose it
could be done as a matter of routine.
However, that candidate would be the exception to the
rule, I would think.
Not impossible, but still rare.
And the capability of the mass of candidates has no
bearing on a given instructor.
As you must know, being an instructor of some repute
yourself, you will get students who are above average
and some below average.
However, I would be interested in the interview
process for candidates.
Perhaps that does make up the difference. I wonder
how many candidates are in this class as well.
But no matter what, I would still be interested in
hearing testimonials from those who used any
instructor I intended to pay over $8000.00 for.
Just being a consumer. Who knows - Atlanta is a short
shot for me plane-wise, and I have a budget that can
accomodate the pricing.
Answer my questions, and I may perhaps be a suitable
student?
