Distance Learning 2012 Schedule

GPUG Academy Distance Learning offers the ability to learn from recognized experts while sitting at your own desk. Most classes provide a hands-on training environment, so you practice the content and apply the curriculum immediately. Classes are focused on specific topics and require no travel, so they’re easier to fit into your schedule.

Classes will be open for registration on GPUG.com at least a month prior to class. In the meantime, you may pre-register to place your name on the call list, and we will contact you when the class is open for registration.  Though there is no charge to pre-register, there is a registration fee to take the class. 

To put your name on the call list for a class and save an appointment on your calendar:

  • Click on the event title
  • Select Register
  • Enter your name and email
  • Select Add to My Calendar
  • We’ll let you know when the class is open for registration!

Times shown are in Eastern Time.  Class date, time, and curriculum are subject to change.
