Online training sessions are 2 ½ hours in duration and follow a set once-a-week schedule for ease of planning. Students can attend from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. However, we do expect our students to treat the virtual classroom with the same respect as an in-person classroom. Online sessions are recorded (see Online Access above).

In-person trainings are conducted as intensives and students should plan for an 8:00am — 6:00pm daily commitment (daily schedules may be fluid, and will include appropriate breaks, etc.).

All in person training is held in Carbondale, Colorado USA.
