Hi Niki,
We may need to update this on the website because we have changed the starting time from 8:30 am to 9 am Central Time, so we’ll have to track that down.
I want to be very clear that the lunch time may move a little depending on what is happening in the training on that day. Given that, the schedule is
Hi Niki,

Hi Niki,
We may need to update this on the website because we have changed the starting time from 8:30 am to 9 am Central Time, so we’ll have to track that down.
I want to be very clear that the lunch time may move a little depending on what is happening in the training on that day. Given that, the schedule is follows:
Times are all in Central Time
Day 1: 9:00 am to 5:30 pm – lunch is usually 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm
Dat 2: 9:00 am to 5:50 pm – Lunch is usually 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm
Day 3: 9:00 am to 3:30 pm – Working Lunch – (There is a 15 minute lunch break from 11:45 am to 12:00 pm to get your lunch to come back and eat during the training.)
Day 4: 9:00 am to 5:30 pm – lunch is usually 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm
Dat 5: 9:00 am to 5:50 pm – Lunch is usually 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm
Day 6: 9:00 am to 3:30 pm – Working Lunch – (There is a 15 minute lunch break from 11:45 am to 12:00 pm to get your lunch to come back and eat during the training.)
Do you have an option at a later time of day for those of us in the Pacific Time Zone?
No, not at this time. The trainings start at 9 am Central time, so 7 am Pacific. Also, the evening consultation calls are 6 to 8 Central and 4 to 6 p Pacific. And, we do have Saturday calls that are in the early afternoon. It’s a good question and something we need to consider. Thanks, Jordan
CE question: I’m close to renewing my license. I’m attending the Katy, TX training.
Will I receive my credits after each weekend?
I’m trying to decide how close I want to cut it. CE requirements and license renewal are due at the end of October.
Hi Shawn,
Yes. Usually we award the credit upon completion of the training; however, if you let me know, I’ll send letter of attendance with the credits after each week end.
Jordan
