A new can of worms - promotion criteria

[Larry Herman]

Without specifically answering your question (because I don't have the time right now) I will say that advancement should occur only when you are driving at the next level at the beginning of the weekend, not at the end.  Most people can get going when they have had 5 or 6 sessions of direct instruction.  You are ready for the next level when you have sufficiently developed and assimilated those skills so that they are still there when you start that first morning.
