Training courses normally are held in our state-of-the-art training facility in Westborough, Massachusetts, although special arrangements can be made to have the training conducted on-site. Training schedules are updated on at least a quarterly basis and classes are filled on a first-come basis. The current training schedule for classes being held in the Westborough facility is included below.

If INSCI cancels a class, a full refund of the training fee will be made or you may choose to apply it towards the next scheduled class. If you need to cancel attendance at a class, you may do so up to 30 days prior to the class without incurring a cancellation fee. If cancellation occurs 14 to 29 days prior to the start of the class, a 25% cancellation fee will be applied. Cancellations within 14 days of the class will incur full price of the class. Substitutes are allowed provided INSCI is notified in advance.
