If you’re an FFI Certified Casting Instructor (any level) , a member of the FFI Fly Tying Group, or a member of Women Connect, then one of the perks of membership is access to continuing education seminars. These are presented on the Zoom platform / app and participants can ask questions.
These are scheduled as follows:
– CE for Casting Instructors: first Saturday, every even month, time TBA
– FTG Online Tying Technique Demos: 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month, 7:00pm CT
– Women Connect: typically quarterly, date and times TBA
The presenters are not limited by geographic location, and it’s not unusual for someone from Australia or Europe to be featured. For this reason, the time for the casting seminars vary each month. The time for the FTG workshops can vary, but are often as scheduled above.
Some of the featured presenters include: Al Beatty, Fred Hannie, Dutch Baughman, Fred Dupre, Tim Rajeff, Graeme Hird, Rick Williams, Peggy Brenner, Jen Lofgren and many others.
To attend the CI-CE seminars, you must be an FFI Certified Casting Instructor or in the process of becoming a CI. For the FTG-CE seminars, you simply need to be a member of the FFI Fly Tying Group, and for the WC seminars you just need to be a member of Women Connect. There’s no pre-requiste for membership in FTG or WC other than filling out a form and paying a nominal dues in addition to FFI membership dues.
