Madrid Training Week One: Bullfights, Shopping, (Cross-Border) Complaining Posted on 17:03, May 6th, 2009 by Rob MattisonGreetings from the Madrid GRAPA Certification Event. Myself and the attendees were greeted by beautiful weather; warm, but not too warm. We have just completed Day Two of our training schedule, where we touched on Network Operations, Billing Architectures, and Controls.  Photo Luis BritoIn their free time the participants are enjoying Madrid. This is the start of spring bull fight season, so a lot of people from the training are going to the bull fights. We have watched a parade going into the arena with lots of pageantry; men on horseback and women in carriages in beautiful Spanish traditional costume. Our trainees are also enjoying the shopping; clothing, beautiful textiles, electronics and souvenirs. The training is going really well and we have people who are looking forward to getting certified. There is a little bit of good-natured complaining though, due to the amount of information that gets packed into each day, and because the tests are pretty challenging. The participants reflect out global membership. We have a good mix of people from around the world: Sweden, Ireland, Brazil, Lithuania, Spain, Kuwait, Nigeria and Uganda. We will likely be coming back to Madrid, if only because our surveys show that Madrid is the #1 choice for training locations.
