Thanks for responding.
I'm glad that I sent the message again.
Feelings over this course have been a significant part of my week.

I've only done a physical first aid course once, and that time I ended up stuck on the floor whilst completing the assessment.

I can't be stuck on the floor in any sense when I'm trying to be Professional Lost.

You know that as well as I do.

The fact that the SL survivors' group couldn't have been clearer in their collective 'NO!' is a significant factor in my decision.

I'm not sure that confidence can be promised from a short course, either.
It's not something that can be given, rather something that is grown over time.

I appreciated the way that you said 'Everyone benefits from you being OK', though.
