I'm not your trainer but a planned 1st week Friday absence can be overcome.

Tell the course in advance (as you have done) and request that you be given your Thursday assignment a day early and your 1st Friday handouts and assignement in advance. Then you can catch up/do your Friday assignment over the weekend.

Any lesson prep to be handed out on the Friday for the Monday could be given to your mini-group of trainees one day early on the Thursday.

The important thing is to show yuor trainers, and trainees, that you are prepared to do extra work the first week to get a little ahead. I am sure that they can work around you if everybody displays goodwill.

Then buy the first round at the post-course piss-up!

Enjoy!


All EXCELLENT advice - we should have given you first!
