DURATION, PROCESS AND T3 AGENDA
The TSL T3 spans two weeks, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.

- In-depth case practice and (when conducted in house) actual issue resolution to ensure in-depth, practical application of the processes; and
- Practice teaching, with instructor and peer FeedBack.
