We do CLE a little differently.

Because our classes are about technology, we put technology to use in our classes. Why? To keep the class dynamic, interesting and (most importantly) effective.

No PowerPoint slides crowded with bullet points, in other words. Expect a more interactive format, which means you’ll get more out of our presentation. You may even learn about some cool new presentation tools to use in your practice.

We also provide written materials that detail everything covered in a class - and more. Materials are available in digital format as well, with hot links for easy access to additional resources online.

We’re currently working on the 2012 schedule, but expect to cover the following topics in both short, focused sessions and longer, more advanced sessions. We hold classes in the Factory at Franklin, just minutes from historic downtown.
