An excellent, if somewhat convoluted, post

the instructors were able to see trends in our controlling that were good and bad
Area ratings courses are now starting with around 40 students on each. Are instructors able to identify these trends when they may only sit with each student once or twice (or not at all) over a three month period?

The courses are just too short (intensive) and the high intake is too much for the instructors to make sure they spend enough time with students, especially on the basic course.
But not exclusively the basic course, it would seem.

perhaps it just gave them that little more time
Perhaps the courses should be planned to do this in the first place.

As Standard Noise mentions, past results have no bearing on your success as individuals. My advice to any new starters would be to work hard and give it your best shot. You may pass, you may not, but of those who fail, many get a second chance.

Its hard work, its pressurised, but mostly, its good fun.

Enjoy
