Ooops sorry about that double posting – obviously can’t edit your own posts.
However I was going to add that the ASM courses are most likely only 5 days long because of the limitation to what they can teach.
I did a course out of Aspiring area and although it was useful, no course can prepare you fully for the real thing – that just takes experience and getting out there as much as possible, which is difficult from WA, and is why I moved closer to the action!
