Equipment Training
All equipment classes begin at 8:00 am at the Training Center unless otherwise stated. Classes will be for one-week periods, with the class size being smaller. This will result in the students spending the entire day on a machine. The Training Center expects you to be in attendance for the entire week.
On a different note, registration procedures have changed this year. You may still register with the form on the back of this training schedule or you can register on-line. You must include a $50 check with your registration form or, if you register online, the Training Center must receive your check within one week from the date of registration.
