Have Your Facility Host a Review Course in 2012!
 
  
Bring an SICP Signature RCIS or RCES Review Course
to Your Facility in 2012!

SICP will send speakers to your facility to teach the course and you have the option of keeping this course closed for just your staff or opening it up to surrounding facilities. We offer one-, two-, or even three-day courses and work with you to create an agenda to fit the needs of your facility. We have several sample agendas to start from but always tailor them to fit your needs.

 

SICP works with you to keep your cost minimized by utilizing your facilities' meeting space, AV equipment, and other services you may be able to provide.

 

We generally like to have at least 90 days to plan and implement a course. We like to quote each course separately because we want to reduce your cost when possible depending on what you can provide and where our instructors are traveling from, etc. Please contact Nicole Shore, director@sicp.com (919-861-4546) today to inquire about holding a course at your facility! www.sicp.com
