Virtual Training & Another Cadet Info Session – Tonight

All;

Two important updates for tonight:

Cadet Summer Training Info Session

It came to our attention that the email subject for the Summer Cadet Training Info session had a different date than the body of the email. Sorry for the confusion this caused. Although a session was hosted last night, for anyone that thought it was tonight we will host a second one. If you attended last night, there is no need to attend again.

Important Info Re: Online Ground School Cadets

All cadets enrolled in Online Ground School;

The deadline to complete the exam has been extended to 2359hrs PST on January 23. This has been extended due to technical difficulties that some of the cadets experienced.

In case you have yet to access the final exam, instructions are contained at the end of the last module as well as in the Forum. If you are still having issues accessing it, you must submit a ticket with the contractor directly. Unfortunately we do not have access to the course, or the exam to help you with accessing it.

A new timeline is below:
