Hi Mcgoo,
Sorry - i think i was a little unclear there.
Just-Local had raised the valid point that many seem to want to rush through the training and i may have appeared to be one of those people. I was clarifying that based on my personal circumstances i was planning according to a comfortable pace for me. Others may complete the training quicker of slower - i suppose it all depends on their factors.
I was meaning that rather than learning the material just for the exam and then quickly finding the knowledge becoming sketchy i would rather pace myself so that i learned the material for the long term and had a solid and firm knowledge base for the future.
I agree with your question about slowing training down - I don't think it should be slowed down if a student, has a good knowledge base to pass the exams and maintain that knowledge base after the exams a done with and can do the practical work to the required standard etc
I don't know though i will soon embark on the long journey and will find out for myself very soon if my theory is on track. I am sure it will require modifications at some point though.
