Thanks for the info, Al. So is it safe to say that if a student were to take 5 lessons from you before you were FFF certified, it doesn't mean that the same student would learn the same skills in fewer lessons after you become certified? And the rate you charge doesn't change? I had the notion that learning from an FFF instructor would cost more and require fewer lessons. I was thinking about becoming certified and offering lessons as an extension of the hobby. If I offered them for free, would that have a negative impact on the FFF community of instructors? Kind of like if GM were to start giving away their Cadillacs to any one who wanted one - would people's opinion of Cadillacs change? Why would they give them away unless they are very poor quality?
Does that make any sense?
