(Cross-post) New training procedure

[Guest guest]

OK... yet another training question. My department recently started

trying something new and I am looking for some opinions.... First, a little

history:

Our basic class is 4 weeks long. Mostly it is administrative learning as

much as possible and taking quizes. There is no practical simulations (to

speak of).

This year they tried something new and for 2 weeks after the basic class

ended one of the training officers took the class into the classroom and

reviewed and did a lot of practical scenarios. This was the only practical

training

they had.

This is what I have a question about:

I am recently starting on the shift that has this new process and one of the

things they have decided is that all the trainees will be taking

administrative calls by themselves, unmonitored by a training officer though one

is

supposed to be close by.

Now, I certainly have my opinion, but I would rather hear other opinions

about what anyone thinks about this.

Thanks in advance
