To attend a Journeyman class and receive credit (Continuing Education through the Educational Reimbursement Trust or state licensing), all members must register for the class in advance of the class starting. Drop-ins to classes are no longer permitted, and handwritten add-ons to the printed roster will not be counted nor receive credit.
