Preparing For Training

All of the training materials have arrived: Approximately 47 pages of information that provide full details about what training will be like, and what is expected of you.

Right now, my job is to get ready to leave home for three weeks, and ensure that on the first day of training I am in compliance with all company standards that have been communicated to me.

During training everything is done on a point system. You must score at least a 90% on all tests. If you fail to do so you get one opportunity to retest. If you fail again you will be released from training. You will also be released from training if you score below 70% on a test at any time. Additionally, you are awarded points for things like being late, not following the proper dress code, not being prepared, attitude, etc. Anyone who accumulates 20 points during training is released from training.

There are a few things you are expected to know when you arrive. We are required to memorize an announcement, know around 88 company terms, and have memorized approximately 55 airport codes. My suggestion to anyone who is going to training, now or in the future, study and be prepared.

The company pays you during training. Plus, if you live more than 50 miles from Indianapolis they pay for your flight, hotel room, and provide transportation to and from the training facility.
