Note: We retain the right to cancel and move the training online if a) COVID restrictions prevent the training from happening face to face or b) Participant numbers are too low.

If we need to change to an online format due to COVID 19 precautions we will let participants know as soon as we are told.

If we need to change to an online format due to low registrations, we will notify participants two weeks before the training. Regardless, it would be wise to purchase travel insurance if you are traveling into the area for the training. Online training will run during the same times and participants will receive all our great materials (via mail), but will not receive lunch or refreshments.

Don't delay - register early to hold your spot and avoid disappointment.
