Well in a sense I’ve got no choice in the matter. No one’s actually told me to get the qualification. It’s just that from my point of view, my own sense of confidence, if you like, I feel that if I’m going to be responsible for instructing other people in the company, then I should do something to improve my own level of knowledge. On the other hand, I don’t know what I feel about the course it self. One thing is for sure, I am not looking forward to the journey there and back every day. It’s going to be very tiring. Mind you, I know I shouldn’t complain. It’s only for a month after all.

It’s certainly a challenge, isn’t it? Of course I am nervous in some ways. Who wouldn’t be? Then again there’s a lot to look forward to as well. For starters, it’s going to be something like twenty people doing it. So I’m sure that’s going to include some interesting types, you know, people you enjoy spending time with on the course itself and also afterwards. Could be some useful contacts, too. Well, OK. I need the course. If I don’t do it, I won’t be able to cope with all the latest equipment. I mean, these days, you have to swim fast to stay afloat, don’t you? But still I don’t see why it can’t be enjoyable at the same time.
