This post is pointless. Most people have only ever gone through one training program at a regional and the ones that have gone through more than one probably failed out for one reason or another and will only have bad things to say. You won’t find real advice or good answers. Simply put people don’t have the experience of having gone through every training program to compare. In general you’ll find most aqp programs to be very similar and very good at training someone with no experience to line ready. They hold your hand and take it slow. Non aqp is for those who are competent and don’t need to be walked through every step of the way. Failures and drop outs are in every program.
