    Just reviewing my archived letters. In my very humbled opinion the
    most advantageous length of classroom training would be a 4day
    training session. If the session can be arranged from a Saturday till
    Tuesday or from Monday till Thursday, these would be the best days.
    This way there would be no conflicts with the retail period. No
    skills can be taught in a 2day period. No time can be spent answering
    important questions. 

    I have done some 3day teaching/training sessions, too much to demo,
    stress levels are high both for the teacher and the student. Always
    looking at the clock watching for what the client has to learn, if
    they are slow, more time is incurred in the learning curve. It is not
    conducive to a proper learning period. The end result is a
    mismanagement of timing, for the student. Its money thrown out of the
    window, stick with the 4 day session, anytime! 

    Those 4 day list of pro's are very true and correct... 

Gerry!
