Training Checklist

 

The following checklist is provided, so you can ensure you have all the information you need before you attend training at Life|wareTM headquarters.

General

You will be studying at the Exceptional Innovation headquarters in Westerville, Ohio, which has a training room, kitchen, production area, management offices and other amenities. Typically there will be 12 students in the class in addition to your teacher and class assistants.

If you have any questions about your class reservation, rescheduling, or cancellation please contact us at 614-901-8899. We look forward to meeting you and spending a few days learning all about you while we teach you all about Life|ware.

Before making airfare arrangements, please note that class starts everyday at 8:30 am and ends at 5:00 or 5:30 pm. There will also be a certification test that you will have to pass in the afternoon on the final day of training, so you will be required to stay the entire length of the course to become certified.
