Attendance

We expect individuals to arrive on time for courses. Arriving at least 10 to 15 minutes before a course will ensure that you have enough time to register and receive all your course materials. During the pandemic there you may have to wait a while registering to avoid crowding. We usually allow people after validating their screening form into the course 5 minutes before. Individuals that are late 20 minutes or more to a course will not be permitted to the course as it requires 100% participation
