| Beginning
September 2006 we will be changing our conventional
training seminar format into two completely different
training classes. The are as follows:
1. "Basic Training": Basic
training seminars are actually a two part training. Part
one will be a one full day training seminar designed
specifically for people NOT already in the business.
Part two is to attend an "Advanced Training" (see below
for details).
For people not in the business,
attending the basic training is critical to your
development. Many people have already stated that they
would feel comfortable attending just the "Advanced
Training" and want to forego the "Basic Training". We
assure you that this will only confuse you. If you are
not in the business, you must attend a "Basic Training"
first.
2. "Advanced Training":
Advanced training seminars are two full day seminars
designed for people already in the business using
another similar product or for someone who recently
attended a "Basic Training" seminar.
Listed below are the detailed
schedules for each seminar type.
