PREREQUISITE: Level 1: Introductory Training
Completion of Level 1 is required before attending a live Level 2 training. Please purchase the Level 1 & 2 combined course if you haven't already completed Level 1.

Sign up for a date on the course calendar to save your spot. Individuals will not be able to attend Level 2 if they have not completed Level 1. Last minute registration does not always guarantee a seat.

Level 2 is a live training offered in two different formats: a webinar split into two, 4.5-hour days or a full-day in-person 8-hour training. Learning objectives are below. Start by registering for a Level 2 training date in the 'Level 2 Registration'. Once you attend and complete your Level 2 live training, you will be able to complete the Level 2 Test and Level 2 Feedback Survey. Upon completion of the test with a score of 80% or higher, you will receive your Level 1 and Level 2 Certificate of Completion for your completion of Envision:You’s comprehensive 10.5-hour training.
