RCat, here we go...

After the hectic week we had been through last week, we were faced with the reality of attending yet another course... RCAT!

This time around we had the weekend to digest the idea of another step on the ladder. So I can safely say we started on a good note, with no dramatic entries. My very own Mentor was presenting the course and that made it a very personal experience for me as I was given the opportunity to liase with him on a personal and professional level. So to some extent attending this course felt like attending a "catch up" session with my girlfriends.

On a serious note though, the course managed to somehow "sum up" the content of all the courses we attended prior to this one. The course content was a bit repetitive but we managed to look at certain issues/terms from different angles. It's one thing to know where IRCA Head Office is, but it's another to know how to get there. That's what I managed to walk away with from the course.

The course presentation was done in a very relaxed manner and that made the learning so much more interesting. However, yesterday afternoon we started the practical aspect of the course and "what a procedure!!". For my personal health and safety protection that's all I can say :-), I'm sure Diggy knows exactly what I mean. Nevertheless, the practical was fruitful and insightful. Had we not done the practical, I doubt any of us would possess the confidence to participate in an incident investigation.

To sum it all up, it was a lengthy, interesting, dynamic and detailed course, from which I learned a lot about myself and applying myself towards others. Thanks Wim, I had so much fun learning from and with you.

All that's left to say is: "SHEEWWWW!!!"
Out.
