Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions about GAT

Did I get in to an Instructional Training Program (ITP)?

Online ticket sales will stop once an ITP courses is full. Please view ITP course list page for more detials. All registration will be completed online - spaces are limited.

Can I attend ITP and any other lectures?

You must attend the full ITP course hours to receive your certificate of completion. If you attend a one-day ITP course, you could attend any open general lectures for the rest of your attendance at GAT.

If I am registered for an Instructor Training Program and I don't show up for all of the lectures - what happens?

Then you will not be able to receive your certificate of completion for the program.

Why doesn't GAT offer the ITP courses on Friday and Monday so that we can attend the general lectures on Saturday and Sunday?

We budget for the convention courses to be offered on Saturday and Sunday only. Switching ITP courses to a Friday/Monday lecture schedule would mean that ITP Participants would incure the additional costs for two additional days of speakers, hotel conference rooms, guest rooms, etc. thus making the lectures too expensive for most to attend.
