Think a lot of that should have been covered in the AN & DP course with 'your instructor' ... I guess some of the level of detail may depend on questions asked though?

I can certainly remember covering the bits below in bold below

Emergency ascents, re-decents (yep, missed stop protocols)

Emergency protocols (missed stop protocols, team solutions to problems)
What deco you really need to do to avoid a fast tissue bend in an emergency.... (Maybe?? My lost deco gas plan would be run at minimal conservativeness)

The GUE Tech 1 course is like a combined Advanced Nitrox, deco Procedures, Normoxic Trimix and Advanced Line Laying (TDI adv. Wreck more, but some covered at AN+DP), so goes into things in quite some depth. Maybe you can get your Trimix instructor to cover some of the above.
Tech 1 sounds like a very thorough course!! Lots to cover indepth in one course!
