Level I Online Immersion SeriesLevel I Online Immersion Series

New for 2008! The Level One Immersion Series is a series of special groupings of the 7 webinars in our Level I online professional training series on accented speech. These immersion events are back-to-back (lengthy!!) live, online events on the themes of assessment or instruction, often with (optional) ASHA CEUs. Because of their specific time constraints, pricing is more attractive than our single module ‘at your convenience’ webinars (generally $99.00 per event). However, they are attractive to trainers who would like to complete the series at a more accelerated pace. These courses typically include a post-event (bonus) product coupon for use in our Web Store on your future purchases!

Complete both Immersion Series and you only need Module VII – Marketing Issues to complete Level I and be certified as an entry level, LDS Preferred Trainer.

For complete details on each level and see the current dates available, please print the flyer for the Assessment Immersion and/or for the Instruction Immersion. Then go to:
1) The LDS Online Training Calendar to enroll in the date option of your choice, and
2) The Web Store to pay for the course date option.

There are two intensives in this series:
