Prep & Test
This course can be either a 1 or 1½ day course. A 1 day course will use the morning for the prep side, and the afternoon for the actual test. The 1½ day course will use the 1st day for the prep, and the ½ day for the actual test. The decision on which is best for the student will be made by them but with guidance of the tester.
Ideally the 1 day course will be for those with a good level of experience, and just needs some guidance towards the test subjects. The 1½ day course would be for those who are a little unsure of their skill level and may need more guidance.
It would be expected that those students looking to take the 1 day course would be aiming towards the Pro Stringer, while the 1½ course would be for those aiming towards the Master Pro Stringer.
