Schedule
The training will run from 8:00am – 4:00pm. The morning portion of each day is in-classroom and the afternoon portion is hands-on.
Course Fee

Experience shows that quality of this workshop is compromised when it exceeds 10 participants; therefore, we strictly adhere to no more than 10 participants per class. The cost of training 10 individuals is $1750. This fee includes the instructor fee, instructor travel, meals, and accommodations as well as all training materials, morning and afternoon refreshments, and lunch.
