    PHII offers a nationally recognized classroom course at our training center in Madison, South Dakota, that fulfills the education requirements for states that do not accept distance courses such as New York, Arkansas, and West Virginia. The advantage of our classroom training is that students are provided with PHII's interactive online distance course in advance, which helps students prepare for the live training.

    Prepping ahead of time allows students to ask hard questions in class and not be bogged down learning the introductory material that is easier to learn at home. Instead, students can spend more classroom time learning detailed information, report writing, and field work.
