AAMN Schedule for Class 22
-
The application submission deadline for the Spring 2008 session is February 1, 2008.
The Class 22 training session will start on Thursday, February 28, 2008. Classes will meet every Thursday through May 8, 2008 from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM at the Bexar County offices of the Texas AgriLife Extension Service (Texas Cooperative Extension). Besides meeting on Thursdays, there are also three scheduled Saturday classes and one scheduled Sunday class meeting on March 9 (Sunday), April 12 (Saturday), April 19 (Saturday), and May 3 (Saturday).
To graduate, all students should plan to attend all the dates listed. Graduation is on Saturday, May 10, 2008.
The AAMN training sessions occur twice a year: one session in the spring and one session in the fall. We usually try to accommodate various work schedules by offering the training sessions at two different times: the spring sessions are at night and the fall sessions are in the afternoon. For more details, go to the join page.
This schedule may be subject to change due to unexpected commitments. Please check with the instructor before the end of each class for any schedule changes.
