It is competency based training, meaning, if you do not meet the standard, applicants do not get the qualification.
I'm "competency based" qualified and on a good day I'm competent, on a bad day, not so much.
You think I don't know this? You think cadets don't know this?
The fact that I can do something when I'm on my best behaviour proves nothing.
In the military we staged "tests" when we deliberately made sure that things did not go according to plan. We made those things happen in ways that the candidate was unaware of. We deliberately set guys up to fail, starting with getting them pissed the night before, then feeding them bullsh1te, then telling them to work with troops who were in on the joke.
"Competency based" ???? Compared to what?
