Live Online CFM course

Hello. I have a few questions and I hope you can help answer these. I am interested in teacher certification.

If I take the Live Online 8 week course from CFM, am I correct in thinking that I would not need to take the Mindfulness Tools 5 day intensive?

I just missed the Orientation for the Live Online 8 week CFM course (starting Jan 24th). Is there any way to still join in that course? If not, when will the next online 8 week course be offered? I did not see any information on the Oasis website.

I am trying to grasp the initial steps required on the path to certification and how to best work it in with my existing job teaching school in rural Wyoming. I am very excited to begin.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for the response. I have been in email contact with Jean Welker and she signed me up for the Thur evening live course and for the orientation tonight. However, when I click on the link to register, it only shows the courses that are full and it suggests I try back in April.

I’m hoping to get this straightened out in time to make the orientation this evening. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Michelle. If you’ve spoken with Jean, you should be all set, she would be sorting out the registration details with you.

I’ll be online for the Orientation to help – see you tonight!

Thank you! I still need a link, or instructions on how to attend the orientation. Any chance you can help with that?

Hi, Michelle. You should have an email already with the link, if not you may want to check your junk mailbox just to see if it landed there. If not, let me know here, I’ll keep an eye on this post and will send you a link directly.
