Qualifications by EBay...
For the record, I think this is damned inappropriate and am surprised it is allowed for any professional qualification exam to be publicaly available. I am sure you can find bar exams and engineering thesis on there too...
Here is another one Not quite as bad as the first, but still...
I Should Be Surprised...

Remember, email is an inefficient communications forum. You may not read things the way it was intended. Give people the benefit of the doubt before firing back... Especially if it is ME...!

Well, it looks like the second one is a Cliffnotes type of thing. The first, well, that is just plain wrong.

The first one should not be for sale. But of course if you look hard enough you can buy almost anything.
The second is fine its just a detailed study guide like any cliff notes guide. I might even get one myself for a reference item.

What turned me off the second item was they tell you how to score a 5 in the Rescue scenarios. If you cut corners in training then your drowning victim will have to wait a few minutes while you reference your cliff notes on what to do next...The second is fine its just a detailed study guide like any cliff notes guide.

Hmmm, lets see... D... D... Ahh, there we are...

Drowning / Near Drowning... Ah there we are...

Search and Recovery...

This is telling you how to do demonstration quality skills. Not Real Time skills. At some point in the IDC there should be a disscussion of this. If something happens for real you need to realize this and not do it as a demonstration but instead do it for real.
