Nah were talking about the "instructional Techniques course" which is a course within a course, its all about ways to get points across, methods of teaching etc. I found the one i did pretty interesting, as the guy teaching it had a degree in teaching and is a PPL, so it was kinda related. I've heard some of the ones out there are boring and a waste of time.

Yes is is boring and a waste of time. Why did it suddenly need to become 4 days instead of 2?

There is a lady in akl by the name of Karen Dobric who teachs it. She also 'teaches the teachers' for the uni or somewhere.

At the end of the 2 days (Now 4) you normally give your own briefing on a topic of some sort. Well I did quite enjoy the brief on Circle of Death. Use of resources was excellent.

I must agree the 4 days now is way over the top. I have no idea what so ever how they will cover the extra 2 days. Just stupid if you ask me. Even the lady that takes them doesn't know what to do for the extra days.

FP_Ace, we call it PMI (Principles and Methods of Instruction) in Oz and it runs about 4 days as well. How it's delivered varies from school to school and the exam is inhouse. (Although I think there's a CASA PMI exam for when you're upgrading to a grade 1).
