MFP staff have carefully reviewed the feedback you've shared about the training sessions held to date and have aimed to incorporate it into this training series. Holding the March Training as a month-long series rather than 3-4 full days in a row represents an effort to shift our approach to bringing you the training content in a way that can fit into your schedules better. In line with this, sessions are scheduled to take place on a variety of weekdays and time slots to best accommodate a wide array of scheduling needs.
