RCT Training

[Sue Davies]

I am looking for feedback about the SES Inc. RCT Training Course.
Does anyone know about that one?
Is it reputable? Does it bear any weight for Jr. Positions? Is it a good value?
Thanks

q: Does it bear any weight for Jr. Positions?

You can have a High School diploma, an Associates, Bachelors, Masters, and even a PHD. But the one thing in common with all these is you and how you handle what you have leaned in SES's training. A wise cracker will not go very far, but a curtious junior who will do what ever it takes to learn the ropes at a nuclear facility will one day be a rad engineer, supervisor, and even a radiation protection manager.

I wasn't a "wise cracker" and I don't know about "curtious"--- but I finally agree with Rennhack on this one, not too sure about value---most the rad engineers, supervisors and even a RPM I know had another quality.

Please don't miss quote me. I said nothing disparaging about the value.   Each person values things differently, and I don't know the original poster, so I can not assist them in their value judgements.

Some people would think a $1,000 trip to Disney is a good value, while others would not.  Value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Investing is yourself through education is always a good thing..In my opinion, that is. SES is an outstanding program. The gentleman that runs it is a wonderful family man that has advanced the careers of many fine technicians.

Nothing against SES in particular, but, what I am seeing and hearing
is that the Jr HP market is flooded again... After 4-5 years of various schools pumping out juniors, there are few jobs for them... This outage
season not withstanding... DOE in Idaho and Washington are saturated
with classes from EITC and CBCC, another class getting out soon.  Some from last years classes are finding work hard to get.  Add in the other schools around the country and you get the picture.  Stimulus money ending soon... 18 (Bartlett) outages this fall... No shortage
of SrHP's, so less Jr jobs there... It's gonna be tough finding work, or enough work to sustain any more... maybe these schools should take
another 5 years off, then go for a couple, repeat.

I am testing for my core card this weekend, and would like to learn of any tips for finding Phase-II facility training openings.  Any suggestions, guys?  I have "feelers" in a few areas, such as Bartlett, and several insider friends at Hanford, but more options for me would be great.  I am willing to move anywhere in the country to get the training.
