The possibility of my becoming an instructor has arisen. Again - I got
as far as buying the handbook once before, but was put off by the
quality of that publication and by the standards of the pedagogy I saw
in newly trained instructors and heard about in the course.

I'm hoping that things either weren't as bad as they seemed, or have
improved, so ... if anyone here has recently trained with the BGA and
would be willing to swap a few emails about the experience, please get
in touch.
