Illness: We strictly adhere to the CDC’s guidelines for respiratory illness to minimize the spread of virus. We ask that if you have any symptom that includes headache, cough, running nose, temperature, fatigue or chills, to stay home and we will reschedule your course. If you arrive at our training site with any of these symptoms, we will not allow you to attend. This is consistent with our “culture of safety” and helps to protect all of us from illness.
