• Instructors and/or Demonstrators of the above mentioned crafts;

• Manufacturers of Products that support the Ranger product lines

The previous Ranger U programs were separated into three distinct certification courses. Our new format will incorporate education of the most important aspects of Ranger’s essential product lines and will still include hands-on education of product knowledge, advanced techniques and answers to frequently asked questions from the top designers and educators in the field at Ranger’s home base in Tinton Falls, NJ. We will show you how to demonstrate, teach and sell Ranger products. You will become a “Fully Certified Ranger Educator”. This means that you have participated in the Ranger U program that incorporates all Ranger Product Lines. Attendees will receive a complete curriculum filled with reference material, techniques and class instructions, a teacher’s kit of product and more! We will be opening the two sessions to 24 students per session, allowing for one-on-one assistance and attention. Make new friends, network and have fun creating at Ranger.

In addition to a $250 tuition fee, attendees are responsible for hotel and travel to and from Ranger’s facility. Most meals are included as part of the program. Liberty Newark Airport is the closest airport for travel to New Jersey. There are a number of car services from Newark for the 45 minute ride to Tinton Falls. Courtyard by Marriott and Marriott Residence Inn is literally next door and down the street from Ranger’s facility!

We hope to see you in 2009!
