Is there a schedule for the updates?

     - Yes! Once we reach the early bird deadline, I will schedule the updates based on the registrations I have at that point. We will complete all required modules, with some practice. Then we will do demonstrations. We will also practice the Stepwise Progressive Teaching Method. You are welcome to leave following your demonstration(s).

Dr Lam's self-paced study course (SIPP) - $56 with discount code

SIPP is required for updates. Once registered, I will send you the discount code. NEW - You now have access to the course for 3 years from the date you access it. This means the SIPP will work for this workshop as well as your next update in 2028!!  (If you have already completed the 2026 SIPP for the programs you are updating, please send me your Certificate(s) of Completion.)

ALSO NEW:  If your certification isn't quite due for renewal, but you want to attend this workshop to update, you will not lose the time left before your due date. Instead, that time will be added to your due date.

This is a virtual workshop using the Zoom platform. Please download Zoom (you may use the free version). If you haven't used this platform before, Zoom provides videos to help you learn how it works. This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Find a space in your home suitable for practice, and experiment with Zoom so you learn how to stay within the frame. I will need to see you from head to toe. I recommend using painter's tape on the floor to outline the area you will need to stay within. If available, I recommend using an HDMI connection to a larger screen or your television, so you have a larger image.

When you complete your Release Form (will be sent to you upon registration), please list the physical address where you will be during the workshop, where the form says "Location", on the chance we may need to call 911.
