UPDATED MARCH 2019 — Tim Vasquez offers personalized training via Skype video chat (link to Skype download). This allows students to get all the benefits of the 100+ Forecast School courses we have done, and allows you to ask questions, show charts, and go over products. You may choose a structured or an unstructured format, and change your preferences at any time during training. With structured courses you get one of the Forecast School lessons that were conducted in Norman, Oklahoma between 2001 and 2013, and you may request specific elements of that course. Unstructured lessons draw from current weather or historical weather situations, and we go over the weather using dozens of available tools. Unstructured lessons are the most popular with our Skype students. |
