I'm [this] close to registering for the tech course, but I have some questions/concerns that are holding me back.
First of all, the course is only offered 2.5hrs+ from us which means hotel stay. In order for me to do it I have to take my entire family with me (baby is bf) and my DH has to take 2 days off of work (which is ok with everyone). The instructor has allowed me to bring my baby with me, but my DH will be close by to take him if he needs to ... which is a huge reason why I'm not wanting to just go with myself and baby and have DH and the girls at home. My reason for doing it now is purely because I'm on mat leave and he's small enough not to be a real pain if he's with me. If I wait, we're in to the winter and that's a whole other issue. This time of year my DH and kids can be tourists and enjoy the area.
1) is there a min requirement for clinics (etc) you have to do to keep current/certifiied?
2) how many people take the courses (will I be surrounded by 30 police/fire men)?
3) would you wait or do it now?
I rarely do anything for myself and I'm having a hard time not talking myself out of it because it's inconvenient for the whole family (which likely won't ever change).
