Track 1: The Weekend Warrior Track

We know that taking time away from your usually busy work schedule can be tricky. Emu has developed a new, 2-part class track for local builders who prefer to take the course outside of regular business hours. Track 1 will be broken into 4 weekend days, culminating in the CPHT exam. Please select the Track 1 options at Registration for the following format:

Module 1:Sat/Sun February 10th + 11th
Module 2:Sat/Sun February 17th + 18th
CPHT Exam:Sat February 24th, 2018

Note: Going forward, Emu will begin offering these Modules throughout the year in Denver, Colorado. Participants will be able to choose to split up the modules over a one-year period (i.e. take the modules in two separate sessions). Completion of Module 1 will be required for participants to register for Module 2.

Track 2: The Get-er-done Track

For those of you traveling from out of town, or those of you who just prefer to get it done in one go, we offer the usual intensive 4-day course during the week leading up to the CPHT exam. Please select the Track 2 options at Registration for the following format:

Module 1:Tue/Wed February 20th + 21st
Module 2:Thu/FriFebruary 22nd + 23rd
