The refresher training course for management planners includes a separate 1/2 day of inspector refresher training and half 1/2 a day of refresher training for management planners. The inspectors and management planners must take the courses separately. All Refresher courses are separate and distinct courses and not combined with any other training during the period of the refresher course.
