Do I have to register for training?
Yes, registration is required for all courses.
Registration is necessary to ensure there are sufficient training materials and the training facilitator knows how many participants to expect. Only those with confirmed registrations can attend training. Please phone GSCM’s Adult Learning Services department at 410-358-9711 or 1-800-492-2521 with questions about confirmations. In the event of a course cancellation or location change, only registered participants will be notified.
No walk-ins, please.
