| These training sessions can be especially useful for recruits before their drill, but no one should ever feel pressured to have a training session. As always, this training is 100% optional and voluntary. Training is not required in order to rat or dispatch. |
While we have a lot of information written down in the Fuel Rats Knowledge Base, and watching rescues in #fuelrats provides valuable knowledge, nothing beats hands on experience. This experience can be gained on live rescues, or in a controlled environment where situations can range from standard rescues to any situation under the sun. This hands-on experience is useful for ratlings and experienced rats alike.
A number of rats have volunteered to help provide training from basic rat/dispatch skills to more advanced skills, like TFPs. If you see any of the rats named below in chat, and are interested in the training feel free to reach out to them for some organized practice.
Do not hesitate to ask your trainer to experiment with new or different procedures, try out new ships, or any other scenarios that you can imagine.
The drill channels can be used for training, though there is no need for an overseer to be involved with training. Please note that a training session is NOT a drill.
Anyone interested in volunteering to offer training, please contact Anja324.
