COVID:19 STATEMENT
During these unique times, remaining productive at work probably feels like an uphill battle. All of this change and uncertainty may also be uncovering or exacerbating skills gaps within your organization. We are here to help! The full AFL designation training program is now available online. For at least the next 30 days we are placing a hold on scheduling the live practicum requirement. Lab box deliveries may also be delayed. However, you can still take and complete the entire training requirement online! Once you complete the online instruction you will receive a temporary AFL designation pending the lab box delivery, practicum scheduling, and completion of the final exam.
