Specialty Classes

Dates: Half-Day Classes start Monday April 27, 2009
Location: Hoffman Estates

These specialty classes are designed to provide you with intense training on a very specific topic. Each day offers eight class options. You can choose to attend just one class or up to four classes during each day, in effect creating your own learning track! You can select two classes in the morning and two in the afternoon. Choose topics to refresh your current knowledge, expand your knowledge or venture into an area which is new to you. The class on each topic is 1 hour and 15 minutes long. CEUs and HSW credits will be awarded appropriately for each class.

When you choose to attend two or more classes on a given day, you are also invited to enjoy a free hot, catered lunch on us!
