Guardian Training Opportunities
Please select the training option that you will attend in the medical form (emailed to you along with your virtual flight packet). This will help us ensure enough seating is provided for all those in attendance. If you would like a copy of the training PowerPoint, please be sure to print the handout as no copies will be at either training. Mail Call pieces may be brought to either scheduled training session on April 19 (they may NOT be dropped off during the make up training as packets will be sorted and packed away for the flight) - please still follow the labeling as if you were going to send it in the mail. Coffee, water, and donuts will be available at the registration time for each training on April 19.
