I appear to be doing some more of it. Off to the Netherlands next month to do my first onsite course for LT. I'm quite pleased to discover that I'm not actually terrified of teaching a course for the first time whilst doing an onsite for the first time. Sounds like fun. At least it's a perl course.

Yesterday, Learning Tree approached me about teaching another course for them. This is good. It's an XML course which is even better. Whilst I was wandering around the LT intranet I looked at that 'want ads' section and saw that they're recruiting for an SQL programming course as well. Of course, it requires Oracle skills that I'm seriously rusty on. So... I think I might take the Learning Tree basic Oracle course.

Of course, that makes me wonder how much an LT course costs if you're an instructor. I'm rather pleased to discover that LT lets instructors do five courses per year for free. Sensible people...

So, I've been failing on the sonnet posts this week. I'm in London, teaching perl at Learning Tree. It's been a good week. It'll be interesting to see what my feekback is.Last time (my first teach), I got the maximum possible scores. I reckon that's beginner's luck. Feedback drives the pay rates for trainers at Learning Tree. It's a pretty good incentive - the maximum rate is about 20% higher than the minimum. This is my fourth stay in the Novotel now. Makes me wonder how much time some of the more experience trainers have spent here.
