A lot of us aren't at their level but we've received the same training. I see many guys working the NIT and NCAA tourney who took the same training path I am currently on. It's what keeps my head up when I sometimes get discouraged about not being at a certain level that I want to be at. And one of the guys who I am in direct contact with badly kicked a call in the Sweet 16.
In fact, I would say most of the officials we see on TV this late in the season are no longer doing any training, they are mostly just teaching and observing in the off-season.
