USA DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME BEGINS - 14 MARCH 2010

Daylight Saving Time will begin in the US, on March 14, and as the ICA Academic Calendar is based on NY ET, this change will affect the time students from many regions around the world attend classses.

** If you live in the US **

The times that you attend teleclasses will not change. But, make sure you turn your clock forward one hour on the 14th March for the start of daylight saving.

** If you live outside the US **

The times you attend teleclasses will change. You will need to update your teleclass conversions as follows:

ALL STUDENTS: Reconvert the time of your classes as of the 14th March (until the 7th November when Daylight Saving finishes in the US).

SOME STUDENTS: Reconvert the time of your classes again if your country starts or finishes Daylight Saving on a date other than the 14th March.

For a list of when countries start/finish daylight saving click HERE

To reconvert times, click HERE

And of course, don’t forget:

If you are starting daylight saving you need to turn your clock forward one hour
If you are finishing daylight saving you need to turn your clock back one hour

If you have any queries, please email support@icoachacademy.com

There have been a number of changes made to the Academic Calendar.  Most of these updates are trainer changes to classes and the details can be found below.  In addition, a new calendar has been added for our Getting Connected calls.  These calls are for our new students to connect with ICA Trainer, Nick Bosk and ask any questions they may have.  Also, registration for March Supervised Coach is now open and the 5 new time options, with classes commencing the first week of March,  have also been added to the Academic Calendar.  Registration for Supervised Coach can be made via the Community Bulletin (see earlier post), or via the Learn site.
