Interest Lists for Level 1 Training Programs

If you are unable to participate in one of the training programs already scheduled above, you may add yourself to an Interest List for a prospective training program in another location (see box below). Once a particular Level 1 Interest List comprises 40 people, CSL will investigate the possibility of scheduling a training program in that Interest List’s location. Being on an interest list does not obligate you to enroll in a training, however, planning for the training will only progress if a sufficient number of people are seriously interested.
