Types of Training Courses:

On-Site Training Courses: Basic and advanced FEES courses can be provided by SASS on-location at facilities with one to two conference room spaces. The minimum course participant size is 10 SLPs. The maximum course size is 16. These courses may be open-registration (recommended) or private for staff only.

Nashville-based Training Courses: Nashville is SASS’s home. Both basic and advanced FEES courses are provided throughout the year. See schedule above. Training is held at the Select Specialty Hospital, 2004 Hayes Street, Nashville, TN. Course sizes are from 10 to 20. Groups of 2 to 4 from the same facility are encouraged to take the training together. No special group rates.

Open Registration Courses: All Nashville-based training courses are with open registration with a first-come, first-served registration. On-site courses may elect to hold open courses to allow SLPs from across the US, Canada, and other countries to register for these courses and provide a variety of experiences to the training experience. Allowing non-facility SLPs to register assists the host facility to meet the 10-participant minimum for a course.

Private, or Closed, Registration Courses: Private courses are requested generally by facilities, or healthcare organizations with multiple facilities, with larger staffs and training requirements. This assures they can meet the minimum requirement of 10 participants. Smaller facilities with limited staff/participant requirement may elect to remain private and invite other SLPs from local hospitals and facilities. No special rates or discounts.
