Hands On
Workshops
Taught On Site

The instructor utilizes a lecture/demonstration format to introduce participants
to the basic subject matter. Students then participate in hands-on exercises to solve
real or simulated problems which they are likely to encounter in everyday situations.
Due to the extensive, one-on-one interaction required
of these presentations, class size is limited.
