Fees:

We worked to make our course as affordable as possible. In contrast to the combined expenses of attendance, time coverage, travel, hotels, meals and incidentals out of home, a conference may cost between $1200.00 and $2000.00 or more. In addition to a fee less than 50% of the bottom end of that range, in addition to the course, you get access to the materials for 1 year. Retention of the knowledge is much higher as you learn when you wish and are tested on the materials for CEs. You can use nearly any device that accesses the internet and can look at the material several times. You also receive three risk assessment tools and two articles related to the course.

Over the years we have learned that such courses are strongly enhanced by adding email or televideo conferencing to the experience.
