Training Experience at Systems!!!

It was apparently good news for all of us when we heard that we have been nominated for a training course for certified business analyst professional sponsored by my organization. The training was to be conducted at some location exterior to our office and our group of four girls including me and my three other colleagues were pretty much excited about these training sessions but at the same time we were hesitant to attend a four hour class.
Anyways the first day of training arrived and we all went there full of curiosity and interest but all our excitement vanished in a second when we reached that institute where the training was to be conducted. It was a small house (that must have been rented for these type of training sessions), the kitchen was exactly adjacent to where the class was being conducted, multimedia screen was no larger than the size of 3*3 photo frame, there was just one energy saver and two fans in the entire lounge, we also met a baby lizard in the wash room and above all the trainer – my goodness, that trainer was such an unbearable person, a complete and true mixture of an ostentatious, show off, over confident and extremely complexed fellow…

Despite of all odds, one thing which was amazing about this training was the tea there, the pathan house keeper used to make tea for all the attendees there (obviously in front of us because the kitchen was no farther than 2 feet).
We were really disappointed by the atmosphere and the trainer so we all went to our managers the next day and asked either to conduct these sessions at our own office’s premises or please get us off of these sessions but neither of the two happened and we had to take the rest of the three classes.

But then as they say you get immune to things, we also started to accept the atmosphere and the attitude of the trainer because some things had really improved there in the sense that size of multimedia screen had increased, and now the lounge had one energy saver, two ceiling fans and one pedestal fan.

Finally, last week of these training sessions arrived and I thought when this all will be finished we will at least miss the time and enjoyment that four of us had with each other and of course we will also miss the ‘tea’ of that Pathan. I swear it was an awesome tea and I will remember that taste for the rest of my life :P
The last session of the training went really well because the organizer of the training had called two guest speakers who were quite experienced and learned people, they shared their good/bad experiences, professional difficulties and quoted real life examples. And the last day also went good because we got certificates for this training course which resembled much to a photo stat.

But anyways good and bad experiences are part of life and each and every event teaches you something that is useful in your life somewhere sometime.
