hello,

i've been wondering about this one for a while. I have a main navigation menu where one of the items is "training & conferences." when you click it you are taken to the training & conferences section where there is a sub menu on the side:
- member academy (this is one of our member things)
- earning credits
- degree of certification
- programs available
- program registration
- program cancellation
- directions to programs
- ... etc..

the person requesting this section to the website wants me to put that sub-navigation as a dropdown from the main nav menu. so it would actually be on all pages 2x's when in the "training & conferences" section.

how do you guys treat navigation? i mean do you try and not have redundant menus or is it ok? i feel like i should cut down on the main nav menu to generalize it all or something like combining all the "programs" options into one link..

any suggestions?
