[QUOTE="CooperD, post: 4010240, member: 76741"] I'd rather not give any specifics about where I went or specific numbers on who passed/failed. Not everyone passed as I mentioned but I can assure you that there is a HUGE grey area vs it being black/white pass/fail. Everyone has their own perception obviously and those that voice their strong opinions are typically those that had bad experiences. Usually people with positive experiences are less likely to go out of their way to post in an internet forum. That's just my opinion for what it's worth. If you're a new guy that's getting ready to go just relax and don't be stressed. As long as you show up with the proper items, stay focused and keep a positive attitude, it's seriously a walk in the park. Look at your new service provider book very carefully for days 1-5. ****Take note that one of the questions asked towards the instructor to sign off on is worded "New Service Provider Attitude toward Training". They really just want to see FOUR things.. 1. Ability to learn 2. Focus and Desire to Succeed 3. Positive Attitude 4. That you aren't a hazard to yourself or others on the road Also, I'd like to mention that the expectations are different based on the individual. If you are one of the better/smarter people you will be challenged to meet perfection. If you are one of the slower more challenged people you will be challenged to be brought up to meet a good standard. The same will likely be the case once you get on road. They want to tune your skills to make you efficient. My opinions are obviously prior to actually being on road on the job so they may change, but for now I'll just say that if you expect to make 80g's a year with only a highschool diploma then you should get used to the fact that this kind of money comes tied to high expectations. Just think about that when you're wondering why they are constantly challenging you to perform at a higher level than where you are at as the week goes on. [/QUOTE]
