This workshop is a licensing workshop which culminates in gaining a license to use the SPARK coaching methodology and the accompanying resources. Full attendance is required. This means attending the full 2.5 hrs of every module and completing the two self-directed modules. Attendance will be tracked during the training. No recordings will be available of the live sessions.
We will not approve absences. You should register for a workshop only if you can attend all modules from beginning to end.
Failure to meet the attendance requirement will result in your license being withheld, with no refund provided.

This workshop is available at a reduced price to allow participants to purchase their individual copy of the guidebook.
