RCR In-Person Training/Discussion Sessions

The RCR In-Person Training sessions have limited seating. We are trying to accommodate as many people as possible in each training session.

Trainers that may be in your area who may offer sessions not listed on this page. [PDF]

Before registering for a session please:

  • Check your calendar to make sure you are free at the offered time
  • Ensure that you can participate for the entire hour

Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email. It is recommended that you add the session to your calendar so that you don’t double-book appointments.

If you need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible so that another person can register in your place. 

All RCR in-person training sessions are held in-person unless designated as a Zoom session. 

Additional sessions will be posted as they become available.
