Number of Students:
- We have a limit of 25 students per course, 15 to 20 students is optimal, we want every student to get individual assistance so that they leave the course with a sound understanding of all the material presented.
- Confirmation of student registration is critical so that we can plan for a good student/instructor ratio.
- We recommend deposits.
- We recommend a wait list to cover those who drop out.
- Agencies that “call-back” staffing resulting in no-shows will be charged a 50% fee unless those seats can be filled from the wait list.
- Fees are now at $300 per student for the two day course plus student manual and certification, effective April 2015.
