Live Classes in the COVID-19 Era

As we begin to offer live classes again, we will be taking extraordinary precautions to keep you safe.

• Social distancing with small class sizes (1/2 of our normal size class) to allow for 6 feet or more between tables.
   
• Frequent breaks to wash hands. 
   
• Daily sanitizing of all touchpoints.
   
• Masks to be worn in class. Gloves are optional to be worn in class.
   
• No switching partners, meaning you will only have contact with one person (your partner) the entire weekend.
   
• Students will have the option to work with a partner or merely observe the proceedings if they choose.
   
• Students who do not feel well are requested not to attend. 
   
• Students will be asked to bring extra linens for their personal use.
   
• In class, we will be using the same safety precautions that you should be using with your clients in your practice. Please be sure to wear a mask and bring hand sanitizer and any cleaning products that you may want for personal use.
   

Please try to get to class a couple of minutes early as it may take extra time to get signed in and set up.

If you do not feel comfortable taking a class in person, please consider a WEBINAR. All webinars are approved by NCBTMB to offer live-hands on continuing education hours in a distance learning format. All webinar participants may retake their class for free in an in-person format through December 31, 2022. (CE credits are only offered the first time you take the class.)
