    My last trainee took 2.5 months. The one I gave now will be done in 3 weeks. I had one 2 years ago that took 3.5 months, then quit.

    Nor do you need to know. The questions I asked assist me with what I need to know to make a decision, bottom line. When it comes to what could months of my time I ask what I need to ask to get an idea of what I'm getting into whether folks see the benefit or not. I'm not in anyone else's situation and their not in mine. I truly appreciate the responses... I figured ask any and all questions meant any and all. I got what I needed to know from it and appreciate the contributors for their patience in answering.

    Then we tell everyone the training is three months long and then when they get out earlier we can say the trainers gave up that additional incentive that they could have gotten... Fixed!

    :rolleyes:
