Program Format

Completely on-line and instructor led via Zoom video conferencing. This will be a type of virtual classroom, so that you still have the experiential ‘learning by doing’ component that is our trademark, while having the luxury of participating from home or anywhere you have access to a computer. Participants are exposed to lesson content and process and given an opportunity to practice skills until they reach competency.
