Then both my instructors were jokes because in both classes we ended up with excess time and excuses for not teaching more safe practices. The vast majority of people I have met that have taken their CHL classes say they too had excess time and not much practical application of safety practices. Not to hijack the thread but this very topic was the basis for a thread I began when I first joined this forum that posed the question, "Is there enough mandatory training in current CHL classes?" For the most part, people were against it because they thought there was too much overregulation as it is in this area, which there might be, but IMO if you're going to madate ANY training the madate might as well be sufficient training.
I am glad to hear there are good instructors out there. We just need some of yall to make your way up to the DFW area...or identify the good ones already here. Might make a good sticky.
Wow. I find it difficult to complete a class in 10 hours. I usually run over. I wish your experiences had been better.
