Thank you for your interest in hosting a NASRO training course. The Host serves as a liaison to NASRO, provides the training facility with AV equipment, assists with promoting the training, and handles other local logistical arrangements. NASRO asks that the Host be accessible at all times during the course to assist with any troubleshooting, equipment needs, and other logistical arrangements. NASRO processes all the registrations and payments, supplies course manuals, and provides quality NASRO certified Instructor(s). Hosts are encouraged, but not mandated, to provide a light breakfast and breaks.

HOST BENEFITS

Host agencies will receive 1 registration credit for every 10 paid attendees up to 4 registration credits. Host will be provided a coupon code for first registration credit that must be used at the time of registration prior to the start of the course. Any additional earned registration credits will be calculated at the conclusion of the course and a reimbursement check will be dispersed to the host agency. Anyone else attending from the agency must register and pay before the course. 

Host Credits will be calculated as follows:

  • 10 - 20 paid attendees = (Coupon Code)
  • 21 - 30 paid attendees = 1 reimbursement
  • 31 - 40 paid attendees = 2 reimbursement
  • 41 - 50 paid attendees = 3 reimbursement 

Reimbursements are based on the following rates:

  • Basic - $500
  • Advanced, SSO, CPTED, and Supervisor - $400
  • Project Unite - $350
  • AMHT - $225

All host agency attendees must register for the course on the NASRO website prior to the start of the course.

*This does not apply to State Conferences and Contract Classes.
