This is an in-person WFA course consisting of two hands-on training days on Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 5pm at the Seattle Program Center. The activities are a mix of lectures, demonstrations, hands-on skills practice, and group scenarios. Most activities are indoors, but some may be held outdoors weather permitting.
