We have, as we all have, been waiting and planning on how to proceed during these challenging and unknown times. We were hopeful that it would be possible to begin the training in July 2020 as planned. However, we have concluded that this is unrealistic and currently unsafe. Our biggest concern is for your health and safety. In addition to that, we want to be able to begin the training with enough participants to continue to it’s completion without interruption.
So Where do we go from here? There are still so many unknowns and possibilities. Our intention is to start in July 2021, but who knows, we will have to wait and see. At this time we really can’t say but our goal is to make it happen. Rest assured, we will add extra segments to the end of the training to get the full amount of sessions in.
