FAQ
What if I see a module I want to attend, but I am not available on all of the dates listed?
All modules that are taught live will be recorded and sent to all registrants shortly after the live session is completed. You can miss a session and still receive the recording.
Will webinars be replacing the physical George Rowley School all together?
No, we understand that everyone learns differently and some people prefer that person-to-person interaction. This will just provide our members more options when it comes to training. We will still be hosting the 4-Day schools across the country. In 2021 we will be traveling to:
Miami, FL | March 15-18
Kansas City, MO | May 17-20
Houston, TX | June 7-10
Atlanta, GA | July 19-22
Las Vegas, NV | October 18-21
