In-person Courses
The In-Person training model accommodates 15-20 participants per course in a traditional classroom setting. Participants will attend pre-scheduled mandatory sessions at a designated physical location, allowing for direct interaction with the instructor and fellow students. Each participant will be provided with a physical course book and will partake in daily activities led by the instructor. The training series will run on a five day schedule with required attendance.
Classes are typically scheduled from 8:30am- 5:30pm MST. Participants are expected to schedule this time away from their work tasks/schedules to accommodate the training sessions. It is recommended that participants coordinate with their supervisors to secure time within the workweek for attending classes.
The estimated total time commitment for students is approximately 8 hours per day.
Learners must bring their laptop to access the Blackboard course room for assignment submittal while attending the in-person course.
