All companies, small or large, that will be offering workshops or Leader training for any of the SMRC Programs must have a license.  ​The following applies to private and public companies that want to offer or sponsor workshops or training for any of the SMRC Self-Management Programs. “Company” is defined as any entity formed for profit (corporation, LLC, LLP, sole proprietorship, etc).

For this license, you may deliver workshops or Leader training at various sites.  However, your organization must:

1. be responsible for the training, and
2. supervise all workshops, and
3. supervise all workshop Leaders and Master Trainers, and be the only organization that can operate under this license.
