Yes, and in exchange the refresher participant would assist the teacher,
provide student support and contribute to the course as a resource person.
Well, that was what was discussed at the early convergences and offered by
Bill and many other PDC teachers back in the 1980-90's. It was always
regarded as a voluntary tradition and important for encouraging & training
up new teachers and designers. It's amazing how much more one learns second
time round and every teacher offers new information and insights.
I have always, and continue to offer a refresher discount for PDC's based on
this agreement. I discount my portion of the tuition cost but charge for
guest tutors along with sundry course costs.
I've had surprisingly few people apply to do a refresher course over the
years, and those who have done one have found it incredibly worth while.
