COURSE PREWORK – BRC 1&2

Prior to participating in ANY part of the course (i.e. Meet ‘n Greet or range riding), you must complete ALL of the following activities and tasks. 
To enhance process efficiencies for you, PRO has created an online, digital document signature and submission process vs the physical, printed document and manually handing in the document to PROMCT. That said, either option is available to you depending on what works best for you. 
For the digital documents, just complete online (or scan) and email the finished documents to PROMCT;  if you do go the hardcopy printout method, you’ll need to bring the required forms to range Day1 of your class (or the optional in-person Meet ‘n Greet prior to range Day1).

  2. Review completeness and accuracy of your required forms/paperwork
  3. Do a Q&A about the class, expectations, or prework topics
