GENERAL INFORMATION:
Five and one-quarter (5.25) Continuing Education Hours (CEH) will be awarded to students on completion of training. The CEHs can be converted to Continuing Education Units (CEUs) by the WBFAA.
Class size is limited in both locations. We will implement a wait-list process and encourage you to add yourself to the waitlist as that will be a gauge to us that the class should be re-offered.
Our goal for in-person training is to be able to offer at least one in-person training session, in each region, in each calendar quarter.
FPE and CAFAA will be developing new course material to meet the ever-changing needs of our membership, for a fresh, high-quality, California-centric curriculum.
