Courses Offered by Ron Smith and Associates

   The following listed courses are available on an open enrollment basis or agencies may prefer to "purchase" a class for the exclusive attendance of their employees. Purchasing a class cuts down on travel and lodging expenses and is a very economical way to provide training to the largest number of people in the agency. Many of these classes are in session right now but are unadvertised due to their exclusive enrollment. They are the same classes as those posted for open enrollment, involving the same instructors and the same high quality content. If you are interested in setting up a class for your group or agency, please contact our Training Coordinator, Mike Campbell, at 262-695-4403 or mike@ronsmithandassociates.com. He will be happy to work with you and provide the information you will need to get started as well as a formal quote of costs for your consideration.
