[QUOTE=jbranscum;123601]I took it in 2011 at ECO. I realize it isn’t what you’re asking but for what its worth it was a really general course that focused on concepts and not a lot of specifics. It used to be a five day course but the CG allowed it to be cut back to four.[/QUOTE]
The Coast Guard evaluates courses and sets minimums in hours, not days. Some courses given over 4 days provide more hours of training than others given over 5 days. It’s also not unheard of for a school to offer a course that exceeds the minimum, and modify it later by reducing the hours.
