PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING.

We have three course options for Winter 2023. All three options will meet VIRTUALLY via Zoom from 5pm-7:30pm on the indicated days. You must attend all dates in full for your chosen course:

For all course options, you will be able to purchase and pick up a new Chromebook from us for $50 prior to the initial class session. You are not required to purchase a device from us, and if you have a personal device that you are able to use during the class, you may also choose to pay for and pick up your Chromebook after the conclusion of the final session. You must complete ALL class sessions in full for your chosen course, or you will have to return the Chromebook to TGH and your copay will not be refunded.

Regardless of which class you choose, you will also receive 15 professional development credit hours for completing this course. A digital certificate will be e-mailed to you.
