[QUOTE="opey, post: 2370491, member: 60931"] Didnt go to Integrad, but the local training/orientation class in NYC. Very strict on uniform and being on time... someone walked in 2 mins minute late for a second time and was sent packing. First time he let him slide since he called before to let the instructor know he got stuck in traffic. Biggest test was memorizing word for word the 5 seeing habits (and all the sub-content), 10 pt commentary, keys to avoiding slips and falls, keys to lifting and lowering, and yard control. Had to write them out and also recite them word for word to the instructor. What really helped is that we did a written test every morning of class... writing it out really helps more than anything else, so by the last day it was coming so much easier. Had to drive a stick shift package car in NYC traffic, they had like a training paddy wagon that was like a bus with seats for like 10 people. There was no pre/post inspection test and the road test was basically up to the judgement of the instructor that he was confident you could drive safely. didnt seem to be any official scoring to it. Seems like Integrad is a bit more in depth, then again there was i believe 24 people in my class, instructor said that was way too much for him and someone was supposed to help out but he never got help. We barely even got to go over the diad and actual delivery methods since about a day and a half the instructor was out doing the road tests. I never even heard of the driver drill until last week when I had a safety ride [/QUOTE]
