DISCLAIMER:
After submitting your registration, you will be placed on a waiting list while we review all attendees. Once your registration is approved, you will receive a confirmation email with relevant course information.
If a student is accepted into the class but becomes unable to attend, it is expected that they provide prompt advance notice of the cancellation, thereby allowing others the opportunity to participate. Failure to provide appropriate notification will result in the issuance of a "No Call/No Show Report" to the Training Chief of their respective agency. This information will be diligently monitored to assess attendance for future class offerings.
