Rebreather World - View Single Post - Certification madness or reasonable requirements?

I feel your pain. I suspect instructors, resorts and agencies do not want to risk the legal consequences of allowing you to do something that does not show a specific demonstrated skill set that does not have holes in it that other lawyers can use as leverage for claiming negligence.

I know some agencies will provide some credit for hours on another unit for some courses.

Frankly, I have a mixed opinion on the reasonableness of the requirements. Some I see as making sense and others I find hard to understand particularily when I try to sift thru the agency websites to understand the flow and skill development of the CCR courses they offer. Often they appear as just a patch job instead of a well thought out and value added course flow that integrates with all other courses.
