If you can’t find a course you want using the menu or the search bar, then please fill out our Professional Development Interest Form if you are an individual, or our Employer Interest Form if you are an employer.
We will make sure to point you in the right direction if the class exists. If it doesn’t, then don’t worry. Our office is rapidly growing, and we are frequently in the process of developing new programs. We will take your feedback into consideration. If we develop the course you were looking for, then we contact you to let you know when it becomes available.
