The primary goal of any specialty course is to teach you important skills in a fun environment. We have designed a course that maximizes your actual skill application and minimizes your time in the classroom. It combines a home study program with review sessions and a number of dives designed to help you gain confidence and skills in a fun and challenging way. Of course, for this program to work, you must complete all of the reading and answer all of the review questions at the end of each chapter before coming to class. However, don’t get too concerned, these materials fo not take that long to complete.
