Registration Fees

Advanced registration is required and encouraged as most of the training courses sell out well in advance.

We are now proud to offer “Early Bird” registration to our professional training events in 2010! Members will receive $100 off / Non-Members receive $50 off when registering for an event up to 30-days ahead of the training start date.

The reduction in fee is automatically deducted upon registration.

Online registration is preferred and available through the Event Calendar, but registration by mail is also available.

All participants receive a resource binder that includes all course presentation materials.
