Ninni:
   I took the course to speed up an amendment request authorizing the
possession of one of Troxler's gauges.  The department purchasing the
gauge paid for my training so I gladly accepted.  The course was a good
review, but I didn't gain any new knowledge.  It did meet some of the
training requirements for DOT though.  I don't know if it is worth $375
a day, but this price does seem in the ballpark for courses given by
private companies.
