Dear Students, The upcoming Code Update classes are currently full. We recommend that you continue to try to register closer to the date of the class as people may withdraw if they have a scheduling conflict. If you’re currently enrolled and learn that you won’t be able to attend, please withdraw as there are other people who want to attend. As an alternative, the Code Update, online, self-paced modules will be available in September so everyone will have an opportunity to take the class before the end of October. Thank you, The Fire Safety Training Program
