Odd, I am a certified Utah Instructor and have received no notification.
Are you referring to the 12/21/06 letter rom Ed McConkie, BCI Chief?
I signed up for the online class from UTCCW which is part of RBI and received the following email.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Utah Online Course! You are registered now and may begin watching your sessions right away. It will take about 3 hours to watch all the sessions. Please remember the course must be finished by April 29th in order to receive your permit from Utah by taking an online class. As of May 1st, Utah will require all Utah permit classes be given in person and will no longer allow the online format of instruction.
If you have any problems with the sessions as you progress with the class please let us know.
Thank you for enrolling! Enjoy the class!
Sincerely,
Deanna Clemmons

I notice it does not say that they have to be taken in Utah, but rather that they must be in person which seems to mean that they will no longer allow the classroom portion of the trianing to be done online. UTCCW had just announced their program a couple of weeks ago at $119, then the next day I got another notice that for a limited time the price was $49. After I signed up and got the email I know why the price change and what limited the time. I would have done the same thing. If I had created and recorded the class sessions and put them online only to be told that I had only 2 months to be able to recover my costs I would cut the price to get the most possible people enrolled.
I needed the online class because there are only two certified Utah instructors in Alabama and both are about 100 miles away. I checked with them and neither had a class scheduled until late spring. This worked out well for me. I usually have things happen the other way. I would sign up for the $119 class and the next day the price would drop to $49. Finally got a break. :danceban:
