Any dates listed for this course are with the intention of holding the class in-person unless shown otherwise. However, given the current travel restrictions for agencies, and the unknowns of future planning, this course may be presented in an online live format on any of the dates listed. We will do our best to notify all students and training managers at least 30-days prior to presentation if the course will be moved from in-person to online.
