Each instructor said they wouldn't sign anyone off unless you were showing progress and you were confident that you can pass a validation. (Which i agree with)
There were a few times where I made small mistakes that probably would end up getting you canned, but anyway I was 100% confident with call outs, profiles and approaches after the extra sessions and got through it with no issues.
There was one person that that sounds like didn't make it through, out of 48.
What class were you in? Mine was the 2/12 start and I believe we had 5 out of 47 (4 upgrades) either drop or wash out.
I would agree about the instructors. I didn't have any that I wouldn't recommend, they were all solid guys.
The training footprint works.. as long as you put in the effort. 100% would recommend the program.
