If you will check out my resume you will see that I devote considerable time and money to developing and maintaining my own skills.
I believe continued training is a lifelong activity that must be continually updated to ensure that my skills available to me if they are needed for dealing with a violent encounter. Advanced training is an excellent way to test your skills.
In addition, taking additional training exposes me to other instructors and to new content. If I find a teaching technique that I have found useful in helping me learn the material being taught, I make an effort to include those techniques in my own teaching.
When I find additional information that would be useful in my courses I have the flexibility to change my courses to include the new or improved information. I never make the mistake of believing that I know everything there is to know about the complex subject of preparing to face asocial criminal violence.
I also value feedback from my students and have made changes in course content based on such feedback. Part of my obligation as an instructor is to meet student needs and expectations.
