BPL 18 Oct 76RD, Rev. 10.9.78 Urgent Important, Successful Training Lineup is canceled because it dropped Method One Word Clearing out of training. It sought to solve students on academy courses being held up due to incomplete Method One, by no longer requiring Method One. As a result Method One Word Clearing dropped out of use and academy students and interns are now being delayed in training because they haven’t had Method One. The “problem” of incomplete Method One isn’t even a problem, all one would have to do is complete the Method One!
Method One Word Clearing is now being reinstated by HCO PL 25 Sep 79 II Method One Word Clearing.
The history of BPL 18 Oct 76 and its revisions is of interest because there have been some six people involved in writing and rewriting the various versions of this issue. Each sought to solve some real or imagined problem with training, by going unusual and altering or changing LRH policy on training. As a result, arbitraries were entered into training and LRH Tech was dropped out of use. Each time this happened, training became less effective and slower. Instead of getting back to LRH policy on training each new revision entered a new arbitrary and omitted a vital piece of LRH Tech.
LRH has discovered that the troubles others have been having with training are due to: (a) the introduction of arbitraries and (b) omitted use of the Tech.
Nothing in this issue cancels or alters any LRH policy, nor does anything in this issue permit anything less than full use of LRH Tech.
BPL 18 Oct 76RD had become long and difficult to read during all these revisions. The valid points from it follow in this issue.
The Student Hat Course was put back onto the training route in 1976 by LRH when it was discovered that the course had disappeared from use. (See HCOB 24 Jan 77 Tech Correction Round-Up)
Definition: “A student attests his theory or practical class when he has fully covered the materials and can apply them. There is no examination.” (LRH ED 2 INT)
The fast flow student passes courses by an attestation at Certs and Awards that he (a) enrolled properly on the course, (b) has paid for the course (or signed a no-charge invoice for 2½ or 5 year contracted staff), (c) has studied and understands all the materials on the checksheet, (d) has done the drills called for by the checksheet, (e) can produce the result required in the course materials. Twin checkouts are suspended. Examinations are not required .
Following are the rules of fast flow training:
1. The only prerequisite for a student, staff or public to be able to fast flow his courses is Student Hat and Method One Word Clearing. Where a student has already done the full Primary Rundown, he is also qualified to fast flow his courses.
2. Method One Word Clearing must be fully done with each word taken to F/N as well as F/Ning the final assessment.
3. False attestations on fast flow training equals a condition of Liability for the student and immediate cancellation of the cert and loss of fast flow training privileges.
On Internships, the Internes do the starrate checkouts required on each other. High crime checkouts and cramming actions requiring starrates are done starrated and not fast flow. (Per HCOB 24 Jan 77 Tech Correction Round-Up. )
The only prerequisite for staff hatting is BSM (Basic Study Manual) done per the checksheet. PRD (Primary Rundown) is not a prerequisite, nor is a Student Hat, nor Method One. Where a staff member has only done the BSM he must not fast flow his training, and must take exams to graduate.
Staff members are urged to do the Student Hat and Method One as early as possible and must do these before a major course anyway. Staff can get Method One, by co-auditing it, from student auditing or in staff auditing. (If staff co-audit Method One, they get the added advantage of learning how to do word clearing.)
It is important that supervisors ensure that students are applying study tech at all times and pinksheet any outness they find.
In fast flow training it is important that ethics is put in for any and every false attest, or the gains which can be gotten from Scientology training will get lost.
It consists of following and keeping in the LRH HCO PLs on training found in OEC Volume 4, making full use of LRH study tech and not allowing it to be omitted and keeping arbitraries off the line. Then there would be no trouble in training really professional auditors, C/Ss, supervisors, administrative staff and Executives, rapidly and in great quantity. The tech works when you use it. Use it and make competent people.
