(yes, really) The search feature doesn't work. If you can find a little flip book called "lights and switches" guide that is really the level of knowledge that is expected. The training is not hard, but SW does things differently, just to be different. Never ask "why". No one knows. It is is just "the way we do it."
So just the overhead panel? They didn't ask you anything on the rest of the panels? Also how did you utilize the "Light & switches guide", did you make flash cards out of it? Also other than the systems validation what would say was the next hardest part of the training? Any general tips for training would be appreciated!
