That's fair enough Vince, we are all entitled to an opinion. Failure can be also a challenge. Instructor assessment is not a ranking, so I see that as different from competition. IMHO opinion they are two different beasts. I enjoy helping CCI and MCI candidates with some aspects of the tests but as I have said in previous posts on Sexyloops, I would fail a CCI assessment, given my views on some aspects of casting technique and instruction. For me, it's not a fear of failure, but rather a case of respecting the views of others and mine. IMHO I do not see a certification assessment as the right forum for any discrepancies that may arise from those respective views. I have too much respect for the examiners for that. I did pass a casting instructor assessment with a casting federation many years ago, but that was not at the level of a current CCI.VGB wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 6:11 amI don’t buy that either. If you take an assessment, your ego is put on the line and failing is demoralising. Why haven’t you taken an instructor assessment John?Could the reason be as basic as they don't want to compete against other casters/fishers and have their performance ranked?

That aside, why do you think casting competitions do not attract more entrants?
