Wintersession 2019-2020 Training
Safety is our priority, and our training program is extensive. We train on weekdays and weekends during the semesters, Summer, and Wintersession.
The Wintersession program runs from January 3rd until January 20th. This a great way to get the bulk of your training done when you’re not taking classes.
If you don’t already have local housing in January, we'll put you up in the Campus Center Hotel from January 2nd to January 17th, provide food (YCMP), and cover your early move-in fees for your dorm room!
