Day 1 down and ?? more to go (haven't started counting...yet!)
Room is great (double bed, own bathroom, desk, dresser, TV, closet), facility is great (good food, gym, pool). You can see more info on the CFSACO site on the DIN, or check out the NavCanada site http://conference.navcanada.ca/en/index.asp
There is pre-course study package. It is only available on the DIN. Most of us were told that the exam was to be given the first day. However, it is scheduled for next Monday, and this week is used for studying for it. Pass mark is 90% and there are 585 questions on it! They've changed the exam day to the second week, as they found that many students arrived not have been given it.
The rest of today was meeting the instructors and staff, a small tour, publication issue, admin paperwork etc. There will be some more briefs throughout the week (ethics etc). Max course load is 14, and we have 9.
There seems to be more people interested in this trade, so as time permits, I will attempt to keep you updated on the course. Please feel to PM, or post here, if you have questions.
