COVID-19 ALERT (updated Sept 2): We have moved the Level 1 and 2 trainings from Hawaii to Colorado due to heightened health precautions implemented by Hawaii state and county governments.
The dates of the events remain Oct 4-8, 2021.
If you signed up and paid for an event prior today, you received an email dated Sept 1 that outlines your options.
We are so disappointed to cancel this event. We apologize for the inconvenience and stress this causes you.
Trust that we are working hard to provide you the best training alternatives possible. For the past year, we have been closely monitoring the situation in Hawaii. Unfortunately, the Hawaii governor’s recent emergency order required us to make this difficult decision.
