It's a 1 day course, not a 1 hour course. I'm guessing you already know that though.

People complain that something costs too much. Yet they want people to not only be qualified and been deemed competent, but to have a minimum number of hours or years of experience. The more requirements you add, the higher the cost will be.

Experience doesn't equate competence.

Qualifications don't equate competence.

Funny thing is now I have handed in my notice I have been informed our Auckland office will be sending one of their technicians down in my last week to "learn as much as possible from me" before I finish!!
Never mind the 2 young guys here has the same bits of paper (Qualifications) as me and the guy they are sending down has supposedly better ones than me........So why are they sending him??
Surely not because of my 25+ years "experience'?? No......... ??
Sadly companies (and modern management) cannot seem to grasp that "bits of paper" do not equal experience nor competence.
Yet HS people who have done all the courses have all the power and no experience, (but then I think you should be able to be a cop till you are at least 30 and have actually had a life of experiences)
In my case this could all have been avoided by addressing the root cause and I would have stayed

I really feel for the farmers who have really been whacked by the whole HS butt covering exercise. God knows its hard enough to find private land to shoot on now.
Soon its going to be impossible.
