Eddie the test I am trying to finish is the
culmination of 32 Training class's (about 20 hours worth) for the company I work for that cover work flow, financial structuring, project role out,
data base management, forms, engineering documents, on-line tools, product ordering, material management and a host of mind numbing subject matter. It
is easy to see why one would not want to take the 2 to 3 hour test again.
But wait there is more I also had to take another 16 for Safety (about 15 hours worth) for all sorts of possible injury threats fall protection,
ladder safety, trench awareness, slip & fall, airborne pathogens, hazardous materials, electrical safety, lockout tagout, radio frequency safety,
rigging safety, add nauseum with a 30 hour OSHA class still waiting in the wings to be taken.
But that's not it because as a Quality Assurance/Auditor II ranking I fall into 3 categories the previous class's covered Project Management and
Construction Management but I also fall under Implementation Manager therefore I got the pleasure of taking 8 more class's for 5 more hours covering
Leadership & Supervising which is what I call the Ra Ra Ra Kumbaya courses for leading through motivation, vision, inspiration, positivity,
delegation, prepping your delegate, managing conflict, and my personal favorite emotionally intelligent leadership.
Honestly that last group were the most bearable and had some good stuff in them, they were interactive so by how you answered a question about a
situation with various characters in them the training would follow the path created by your specific answer, if you answered differently the course
would have different out comes it was very thought provoking.
