Training Blocks

EIT's will select their Training Blocks (TB) from those listed below.  EIT's are required to choose a minimum of 4 TBs from the different areas.  Three of the areas are Staging TB's, and are required of all participants.  A Staging TB may also count as one of your optional selections, as long as you complete the minimum of 4 areas during your program.

Most TB's require only 2 months, but the Staging TB's require 4 months, as does the Bridge Design area.  You will want to keep the time requirements for each TB in mind when planning your overall training schedule.
