12 Jan 09

Today we started the MSRM course. It is presented by Pieter Hammann.

We took a while to get started with the actual course content, because a fair bit of the introductory slides are the same as those we saw last week. By this I am not referring to the course content, even though there is repetition in the course that is to be expected. I feel that we used valuable time to hear things like where IRCA originated, etc. I think it can be good if trainers who present courses for the PDP can cut on the slides preceding the actual course content, we can get down and dirty...and grab the course by the horns (so to speak). We still need to read tab three tonight, in addition to the normal homework. I think if we used less time this morning on the intro, we would not have been behind schedule. By this I am not criticizing anyone, it is but a proposition. Please don’t understand me wrong, I think I might be a little eager, but in the end the concept of “the faster you learn the faster you earn” that Wesley explained to us, is a motivation in itself. I am not expecting anyone to hurry through anything and not do it properly, I would just like to apply myself while we’re in the course and not “waste” valuable time on extras that aren’t necessary. Work hard, play hard.

With regard to the actual course material... I enjoy the repetition and expansion thereof. What we learnt in last week’s Health and Safety Representative course is still applicable today, and within MSRM there is more detail around these concepts. This gives me an even better understanding of the work we covered last week.

Once again, I am not trying to be rude or anything, it just a question of managing our time as effectively as possible. Today’s post is a lengthy one, I admit, but allow me to say one more thing....What was the number on the back of my go-kart on Friday? Please let me know if anyone remembers.

Stay Classy Guys!
