Directions Applications are now being accepted for Online and Onsite Workshops.
Applications are now being accepted for a three-day workshop in Seattle, WA, May 7-9, 2008. We will also offer a three-day workshop in San Francisco in the fall of 2008 and online workshops (each taking place with about a 6-hour per week time commitment over a 4-week period) in the fall of 2008 and in early 2009, exact dates TBD. Those not selected for their first choice workshop will automatically be considered for all future workshops.
Please take your time to read and answer all of the questions in this application. Any information left out may disqualify you from being considered for a workshop. Incomplete applications will not be accepted. Applications are being accepted now for all workshops. Cutoff dates for applying are approximately two months before each workshop. All applicants will be notified about the status of their application soon after the cutoff date.
The application takes roughly
20 minutes to complete, however, there is no time limit and you should feel free to take as much time as you wish. Please be aware that there are four (4) essay questions that you should give some thought to before applying. Therefore, you should have already downloaded and reviewed a
sample application.
