Message from the Director Mike Hawes
To the PNCI community,
As you know, PNCI stopped hosting in person classes in mid-March. Since then, our Training team has done an amazing job at developing new curriculum which has allowed us to offer some Instructor led classes solely online and other classes predominantly online, with some hands-on components in the Training Centers. Please visit our class schedule on our website:

As Oregon starts to ease the shelter-in-place restrictions, the PNCI Training team is working hard to adapt teaching methods with COVID-19 safety protocols in mind. We are planning on offering in-person classes again starting in June with these new strict COVID-19 protocols in place. Our goal is to offer a select number of these classes, mixed with our new hybrid instructor led online classes and gradually increase the number throughout the rest of the year. As we ramp up our training, our student and staff safety will continue as a top priority for us.
We will continue to pay close attention to recommendations from the Governor and State and Federal Health Officials and we will continue to keep you up to date, as this information changes.
I want to personally thank each and every one of you for adaptability, continued patience and understanding during this time.
Sincerely,
Michael Hawes, Executive Director
