to get onto the voice conference.  If you have free long distance then the training is totally free.   It is advisable but not mandatory that everybody attending the class have the $30 training manual which costs $10 to mail via USPS Priority Mail making a total of $40.  BMDMI training manuals come from the BMDMI Hattiesburg, Ms office.  </div> <bR> <div> KOM Internet training classes are always on Thursday nights.   BMDMI training classes are always on Friday night.    Classes last from 7:30PM EST until 10:30 or 11 PM EST.  The conference will be open up to 30 minutes early for those who want to make certain they are ready.  This is advisable for first time users.</div> <bR> <div> Those who take the class need to have a high speed internet connection available and access to a Windows 2000, XP or VISTA computer.  Frequently teams gather in a church conference room and project the PC screen on the wall for everybody to see.    Send an E-Mail to <A

 Because of this more can be learned.  However, the cost of travel is so much these days, we introduced internet training as an alternative.  Internet training can give you a good understanding of optical principles and also the computer software KOM provides but it cannot teach you how to manually operate an lensmeter or an autorefractor which is covered in the Hands-On class.  Video training are available for both of these however.  The "Hands-On" BMDMI training is only taught once a year at the Regional Conference.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>BMDMI ONLY</U></B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000"
