You bring up some interesting thoughts for me. I'm interested in learning trapping. Like all aspects of the outdoors, it's a huge part of our heritage. But I can't learn. I don't get enough time off for the mandatory course, nor can I afford the $400 course cost + time off + travel from calgary. Seems like there's no way to slowly learn over time. It's either you're all in or you're out. Seems odd to me I need more training to snare a muskrat then I do to hunt a black bear with a high powered rifle. I'll be keeping an eye on this progression

Edit: two tiers would also allow people to learn the basics then later on advance to the second course if it was of interest to them.
