Due to the current pandemic, Paratech will have extra safety measures in place at our Paratech Universities. There will be a wellness screening each morning at the Paratech Registration table where temperatures will be taken, and we will ask each attendee to let the Paratech representative know if they are experiencing any of the below symptoms.

• In the last 24-48 hours have you felt feverish or cough?
• Have you experienced shortness of breath or difficulty breathing?
• To the best of your knowledge, have you or anyone in your household come into close contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19?

We ask that you please stay home if you have a fever, cough, are symptomatic or asymptomatic, or have been around anyone with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis in the last 14 days.

The safety of everyone attending the training is extremely important. In order to protect students and instructors, Paratech reserves the right to ask any student displaying symptoms of sickness to leave the training.

Paratech Universities have limited registration spots available. Maximum 4 attendees per company. If you would like more than 4 attendees from your department to attend the Paratech University, you can add additional personnel to our Wait List. The Wait List becomes available after registration is full. If a spot becomes available, you will be notified via email and have 1 day to secure that opening. If you do not secure the opening within 1 day, the opening will be released to the next person on the Wait List.
