    CHALLENGES

    There are a number of inconveniences which I faced during


    my training session. These challenges were both from within
    and outside the main spear motors main workshop and these
    a summarized as follows;
    I faced a problem of transport cost; at times I missed some
    training sessions because I didn’t have enough money to use.
    At times trainers would take trainees as a by the way. We
    would be denied to do some things which were practical.
    Some trainers were unapproachable and tough to work with,
    This was difficult during the training session.
