BVTC Participant Profile [ click here ]
Please complete the profile by the Wednesday before your training. It should take you less than five minutes. The information you provide will prepare the team of instructors for the experience levels and learning objectives for the candidates in your class.
Required Online Pre-Read Material
Completing all Pre-Read Material listed below is required for all attendees. These materials will prepare you for interaction with the instructors, lectures, curriculum exercises, and the Proctored Exam. There is a Required Online Pre-Read Exam covering these chapters. See details below. Note: The Online Pre-Read Exam results will not be e-mailed to you.
Download the chapters from the BV Fundamentals, Techniques and Theory (FT&T) 2012.v1 manual below. The FT&T manual will be used on Monday and Tuesday of the BVTC. You will be given a full copy of the FT&T manual onsite. You do not need to hand carry a copy.
Please note that due to ongoing updates to the FT&T curriculum, the copy you pre-read may not be the same as what will be distributed onsite, unless downloaded within three weeks of your scheduled BVTC. The core content and fundamental body of knowledge is most critical. Please do not worry that subsequent updates will conflict with the fundamental body of knowledge.
