A NOTE ABOUT TRAINING
The training can take awhile to both complete and for the MMLs to process, especially if the training takes place over the weekend. We recommend starting the process at least 5 Business days to before you need to print. If you need to print something immediately, we recommend you take a look at some local alternatives, which have much quicker turn around times.
You will need to have Photoshop installed on your computer for the quiz, or work from one of the MML computers in Granoff. You will also need to download the images in this google folder.
