I'm a little surprised that so many instructors are in favor of the 4 hour class. I honestly don't see how it's possible to cover the DPS material effectively in 4 hours. I put on a solid 10 hour; no filler. All of the better instructors I work with feel much the same way. We put a lot into our classes and take this very seriously. I have no intentions of putting on a sub-par class. I hear the argument that we shouldn't require a license in the first place, so the training requirements should be minimal. I don't believe one has anything to do with the other. If we shouldn't require a license, then don't require a license. As long as one is required, why not do it right?

My students rarely complain about the length of the class. They always comment that they expected it to be boring, and it was anything but. Renewals comment that they learned more in my renewal class then they did in their full day CHL class. I firmly believe that reduced training requirements will translate to higher conviction rates among CHL holders.
