Not only was the guy not able to abstract enough for our line of work (something I am sure doesn't apply in your case), but the company responsible for the training probably very often gave training for exalted prices which were more based on the hopes of the trainees and not on the quality of the training (we looked at the training material and the speed needed to cover basic topics). I might be off base totally here - but by analogy I am afraid that your training corp might have better sales than training force. Take the time to find a few "graduates" from that training, ask for the quality of the training and the boost given by it to their new jobs. And especially if they would do it again<g>.

Sound advice. Thanks.
