Question 6 was kind of ambiguous, and I wasn’t really sure what I was looking for until I started adding up the numbers. At first I was thinking along the lines of who’s philosophy do you follow, and I like the “What works for me” answer. The responses followed more along the lines of what agencies have you had training through. I think that this is a more interesting count. Overall it shows that a majority of the respondents have had training with more than one agency.
