Infrastructure
In order for a class to be successful, all students should share the same general level
of knowledge and experience. If a participant does not demonstrate these, the instructor will take
the necessary steps either to prepare the participant or place him/her in a more appropriate course.
This policy is intended to maintain the high level of quality control that you have come to expect.
