In an effort to provide quality, low-cost trainings, an IBC committee has been working on setting up trainings around the state to help you get the hours you need for certification and recertification. In the past year, we sponsored several successful trainings, and more trainings are coming this year. Watch the website and your email for details on upcoming trainings. If you have suggestions for training topics and/or trainers, please forward them to us.

Cancellation policy: If you have registered and paid for a training, and subsequently contact the IBC office to cancel 7 days or less before that training, IBC will refund all but $15.00 of your registration fee.
