you can
do it better. The presenters bring a wide variety of experience to the
table, but the real stars of the workshop are you - past attendees  
note the
interactive approach focusing on their problems, from getting  
administrators
involve in safety to dealing with regulatory concerns. The course  
covers all
of the content areas of the certification exam, including a sample
