when a trainee "fails" this is not an ego boost.
quite the opposite.
with any trainee i try to adapt my training technique to the individual trainee and do everything possible to help that person achieve a c of c.
then after gaining this keep an eye on them, during the first few months to make sure that they are ok, make them they feel they can still ask questions and opinions while they gain experience.
if i was into having an ego then it would be when someone has gained a c of c with my help and input
more money for a busier unit - thought that already happened!
