Attendance Requirements

Training participants may access the training location 30 minutes prior to the session, and may sign in at that time. The training will start at the advertised time. (Example: A training is advertised as beginning at 9 a.m. Registration will be from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and the training will start at 9 a.m.)

If you arrive 15 minutes or later to the training, you will not be admitted into the training. No exceptions. (Example: The training session begins at 9 a.m. No one will be admitted into the training after 9:15 a.m.)

This policy is in place to ensure that participants received the training required for contact hours, accreditation standards, or continuing education units, and to minimize disruptions to trainings once they begin.

Inclement Weather Guidelines

On occasion, the Partners Training Academy will need to cancel training due to inclement weather conditions. The following standard has been adopted to guide our participants:
