Or, "That's an interesting question. Anyone has an answer to that?" While you have more time to think of the answer.

just wondering generally, haven't been stumped before.
I am qualified enough to teach ccna and ccnp. But i dread standing and talking for long hours.

Depending on which training schools you join.

It is usually quite flexible.

Different training centers offer different package, assuming you are joining as an associate.

Paid by:

1) Per hour basics (You can choose how many hours you wanna work and classes to take, need to stick to it through out)

2) Per class size , condition same as #1

3) Per project basics, for example, 1 week of CCNA teaching give you $x amount of money fixed, include OT (If any, usually the most 30-1hr extra).

Is it possible to gain CCSI without becoming a full time trainer? I checked with some Training Centre. They only apply CCSI for their full time trainer.

Is it tough?
what if you get stumped by a student?

You know what you do not know, but the students do not know what you do not know. And for what you do know, you need to be very confident of those.

In a class, contrary to most people's beliefs, it is often not those that ask questions that are scary.. they ask questions and depending on the depth of questions they asked, you can size them up accordingly. Those that seat quietly in one corner are the scary ones. You have no idea if they are following or not following you or if they are sizing you the trainer up.

Training is not suitable for everyone because people get burnt out very quickly due to the fact that it can be very repetitive.

Be honest! Don’t try to "bluff" an answer—if you don't know the answer, admit it.
But also offer to look it up and provide the answer after the break or the next day. Otherwise it looks bad on you that you don't know and don't care, and you'll continue not to know when the next class asks.

Teaching is the best form of learning actually.
