Seminars

CFT Seminars are offered year-round at convenient locations throughout AL, CT, DC, GA, IL, IN, LA, MS, MO, NJ, NY, MA, MD, PA, RI, TN, and VA.

These fast-paced educational programs feature nationally recognized speakers with the right combination of flair and expertise to deliver the highly-effective workshop you expect.

CFT Seminars are delivered "live" at various locations including: hotels, conference centers, college auditoriums, etc. CFT feels strongly about the importance of providing an environment that is conducive to learning and comfortable for the participants. Most "live" seminars will feature food and beverage service, making the experience that much more enjoyable and convenient.

Webinars

CFT Webinars combine the clarity of an audio teleconference with the interactivity and visual presentation of the internet. A webinar offers you the convenience of attending a training session in your own facility. You pay by the location, not by the person. Webinars allow participants to ask questions, participate in live surveys, and see the slides as the seminar leader presents the material.

All you need to participate is a phone connection and an internet connection. If you don't have an internet connection, you can still participate in the audio (conference call) session and follow along with a printout of the slide presentation!

If you are unable to participate in the "live" webinar, you can purchase the recorded version. You will receive unlimited playback of the original session (combined audio & visual with your internet connection) for six months, an audio CD (listen to the session without an internet connection), plus any of the original printed handouts.
