\nVirtual Class Information:
\nYou must participate in this course from a computer or device with a working camera and microphone. You will be required to be on camera the entire class (excluding breaks) and be heard if asked a question. While not encouraged\, a tablet may be used. Please know that on a tablet some functions of Zoom can be limited. Access by cell phone is not allowed as the connection can be broken when calls come in.
\n \;
\nA hard-wired connection directly to the internet is highly recommended\, as Wi-Fi connections can result in intermittent connectivity. Participants who cannot maintain connection throughout the class will be at risk for not receiving certification and need to take the course again. The instruction provider has the right to remove any participant from the meeting for failure to stay connected as it not only causes you to miss information\, it is also a distraction to the instructor and other participants. Please test your connection prior to the day of class.
\n
\nWe will use the Zoom platform. If you are a first-time Zoom user and have never downloaded the Zoom desktop application (or have but want to be more familiar)\, please visit: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362193-Joining-a-Meeting. This link will walk you through the process to set up an account and will test your camera and microphone. It even lets you do a test Zoom! It is free\, easy\, and worth the few minutes to be sure you are comfortable. If you are returning Zoom user\, please be sure you have version 5.0 or higher. If you do not\, Zoom will require you to update before you can join the meeting which will slow you down.

The remaining 6 hours will be elective courses produced by outside providers\, submitted to \;and approved by the Board.
