I enquired with an instructor from IPMBA, and he was willing to let me take the course (as an auxiliary) provided I got a sponsor letter from my PD as well as a waiver.DODK911";p="70535 said:
I ended up not going through with it because of the $300 cost for the course PLUS the costs of a hotel and eating out every day/night would have made it more $$ than I was willing to spend.
Even though the riding portion of the IPMBA course is supposedly more intensive, I decided to go with COBWEB instead because they hold classes on the east side of the state. I am still waiting to hear from them as to when they are doing classes though...
