• A course session that takes place from 9am-5pm on Tuesday and Thursday.

• A course session that takes place from 10am-12pm on every Monday for four weeks.

• A course session that spans three days. The first part of the session is from 10am-12pm on Wednesday via a webinar. The second and third parts of the session are 9am-5pm on Thursday and Friday, are led be different instructors, and held in different rooms.
