I just wanted to apologize for my negative tone on the above post. It's not really negative but it does sound critical of the instructor certification program and I don't feel that way. I realize they have to prevent "lookie-loo's" and "dabblers" from becoming instructors and holding baked seminars and giving Photoreading a bad name. I was just saying that the average person with a job and family would have a hard time in becomming one and the marketing requirements (having to have so many people at the first class, having to basically do this full time, etc.) will prevent some GOOD people from taking this path. It almost seems as if they only want business people to go for it, those that will market hard and bring in the numbers while neglecting those that maybe want to go for more of a one on one approach. It's just not flexible, that's all.
