TRAINING MANUAL


We send out important links and a 250 page digital training manual around 1 week before the training.  


This training is designed to be easy to complete with the digital manual. Each activity will include any components required to complete it (videos, links, or the section of the manual if it is required for reading.) Many of the assigned activities have an option of watching a video instead of reading the section of the manual. We provide these different options to accommodate different learning styles and preferences.
