OK, how many years and dollars does it take to reach that level of training?
Becoming a COI involves passing a one-day class and paying a few hundred dollars, so cost and time aren't issues at all.
Without the ability to get in front of, and impress, your target market it won't do any good, but obtaining the certification isn't particularly difficult.
I haven't even had a chance to teach my first CEU class, and the certification has already paid for itself.
