*Please note the online course work must be completed 48 hours prior to the practical session to attend and pass the class. (No reschedules or exceptions can be accommodated). Following acceptance into the course you will receive a time-sensitive email with a link to the online coursework. Please check your junk folder and reach out to the registrar if you do not receive this link within a week of your acceptance.
The practical portion of the course will be held at the MMC from 8 AM to 5 PM on June 1st. More information about the practical course, including course expectations and guidelines, will be sent via email closer to the course date.
