ProStart Program Means Business

Professional Development Workshops for ProStart Instructors

The ProStart Program Means Business (PSPMB) teacher training program was designed to increase understanding of the ProStart program and enhance the teaching abilities of the ProStart teacher. Many of the educators currently teaching ProStart expressed a desire to have additional training made available to them, and for that reason PSPMB was developed.

For scheduling purposes, one month's notice is required when requesting trainers. Please make sure you confirm availability prior to finalizing training dates with your teachers.
