"I teach theory, the basics of operation, and how to troubleshoot,"
Marc explains. "When technicians leave my course, they are ready
to fix any kind of problem."
Marc runs
up to 16 two-week courses. In addition to soldiers, he trains
technicians from the RCMP and from the Department of Foreign Affairs
and International Trade.
"The technology
improves so fast that we constantly have to review the contents
of the course so that the technician goes back to the unit with
the most up-to-date information," he says.
Although members
of the military can be transferred frequently, Marc says instructors
tend to spend awhile at their jobs. "They try to leave us alone
because it takes time to train someone to do what we do," he says.
