ENGAGING & INTERACTIVE CLASSROOM APPROACH

As we go through materials in the book, you will have the opportunity to engage with your facilitator as questions arise.  In fact, questions are encouraged as other attendees may be wondering the same thing! Each chapter wraps up with a short quiz and we will review answers and make sure everyone understands all the information before we move on to the next chapter.

OPTIONAL POST-COURSE SEGMENT

This is 100% optional, but it is offered for no additional charge or obligation to attendees as an added benefit to those who attend this retirement course. You will have the option to sign up for this third segment after the course is completed if you’d like to discuss particular topics you’ve covered with your facilitator in more detail. This segment would be scheduled outside of the 2 segments of class time.

COURSE MATERIALS

You will be provided with a 2-volume set of course workbooks, which include an easy reference glossary. Assessment quizzes are also a part of your workbooks and help to reinforce the information you are learning.  The workbooks are a resource for you to use during class, and as a reference after the course is completed.
