Getting Started FAQs

To meet the current and ever-evolving challenges that the coronavirus era presents, BBSH will be offering what we are calling a “hybrid” year for 2020–2021. This is what we are proposing:

1. To accommodate travel restrictions and possible quarantine requirements, students will have the choice to attend Resident Training either in person (where allowed) or simultaneously via live video conferencing.

2.  Students will be able to make class-by-class decisions as to whether they will be attending in person (again where allowed) or online. For example, a student may opt to attend online for Class 1 and in person for Class 2.

We are hoping that this new model will ease the uncertainty that the prospect of traveling to attend BBSH classes evokes. Having a choice to tailor the training to meet your states'/countries' travel requirements and restrictions will allow you to engage in your BBSH training without this added stress.

No, our students attend the school from all over the world. They attend the resident training week and go back home until the next training week. Our classes met 5 times a year, approximately 6 weeks apart. In between the resident training weeks all students travel back home.
