Short Courses
About Short Courses
- A Short Course is a full day training session.
- All short courses are presented at the same time on MONDAY, so only ONE may be taken.
- Registration includes course notebook and lunch, but does NOT include symposium attendance for the remainder of the week.
The goal of the workshop is to give the attendees a working knowledge of the subject matter, so they can immediately apply this new knowledge in the workplace.
Presenters include hands-on workshops where the methods presented are demonstrated and performed by the participants.
Short course materials are printed and bound separately from the symposium Proceedings and are provided to short course attendees, and generally are sold to the public for a brief period after the symposium.
