  • For the FY23 version of the course, there will be no printed handout provided. We do make a digital PDF version of the lesson handouts available from our web site. The handouts can be accessed at the end of each topic.
  • The RAC workshop will be 5 days long. As a result, travel days for the workshop will be Sunday and Friday evening or Saturday. When making flight reservations, we recommend that participants schedule flights on Friday evening after 7 pm unless there is a significant scheduling conflict.
