| Due to Covid-19 Social Distancing requirements, this class will primarily be taught via the Canvas online learning format. However, California Specialized Training Institute and state regulations require testing to be conducted in a secure, face to face, manner and some lessons and skills are most effectively taught in person. The above schedule will serve as a guide and may be adjusted or rescheduled if conditions and/or requirements change. The class meets from 7-10pm at the Public Safety Training Center on 8/19, 8/26, 9/30, 10/7 and on 12/16 for a final exam. |
