Today's blog article walks you through how to filter through the options for CSL classes. Massachusetts-based continuing ed. classes for construction supervisors include a variety of options you'll need to consider.
Location
The most obvious thing to consider when seeking a CSL class is location. Since Massachusetts regulations require that restricted and unrestricted construction supervisors take a certain number of in-person continuing education hours, you're going to have to get in your car and drive someplace. You might as well travel to a location that's convenient for you.
At Leisure offers CSL continuing ed. classes at six convenient locations across Massachusetts: Hyannis, Wakefield, Dedham, Taunton, Devens, and Sturbridge.
Hybrid Options
Although there are limitations due to state regulations, you can still take 50% (or more) of your continuing education hours online. Most construction supervisors prefer a "hybrid model" of continuing education that enables them to take part of their hours online and part of their hours in an in-person setting. At Leisure's CSL course builder makes it easy to build a continuing ed. course that meets all state requirements while giving you the balance of both in-person and online hours.
Topics Covered
State regulations dictate some of the content for CSL continuing education, but a good chunk of your training can be made up of elective topics. While many providers offer the same old boring curriculum, At Leisure is constantly updating our elective topics with fresh content from our expert instructors. When you register for your coursework, you'll have the opportunity to select which topics interest you. And next renewal cycle when you return, there will be new options so you don't need to repeat the same course modules again and again.
CSL Course Experience and Instructor
One thing's for sure: If you're going to spend six (or more) hours at an in-person class, the quality of the instructor and the course experience as a whole is one of the most important (if not THE most important) factors to consider. Our renowned instructor Wayne Del Pico has earned the reputation of leading the most engaging and informative CSL class in Massachusetts. We get tons of positive feedback after every single class from happy construction supervisors who can't wait to tell us about what a great experience they had.
Meals Served
Most CSL contining ed. classes in Massachusetts do not serve lunch (and if you can't find any information about food on their website, most likely food is not offered). Construction supervisors are left to either remember a room-temp bag lunch, or quickly rush out to a fast food restaurant during the brief mid-day break. At Leisure offers a delicious full hot meal at every class, included in the price of your course registration. Many customers enjoy the networking aspect of lunch as they chat with other classmates while eating.
Customer Support
Things come up, and there's nothing more frustrating than trying - and failing - to contact a business when you have a question about an upcoming class - or worse, if you need to cancel/reschedule. Some continuing ed. providers don't even list a phone number on their website, and response times for email requests are poor at best. Here at At Leisure, we pride ourselves on offering excellent customer service. We have friendly representatives standing by seven days a week ready to help with anything you may need. So even if something comes up the morning of class, you'll be able to get a hold of us.
