Each training session will be conducted by a federal trainer. During the session, you will be able to interact with the instructors using your computer's keyboard.

Because this is an online session, you will need to have a computer with an Internet connection and a separate phone line to access the audio portion of the training. Please click on the links below to determine if your system meets the requirements to access the session.

PLEASE NOTE: We have recently upgraded our Distance Education System. The new system will require installing new browser plug-in software to your system for full functionality. This may take as long as 30 minutes to download and install. You may be required to contact your IT department in order to accomplish this upgrade. We will be unable to assist you in the installation in the 30 minutes prior to the session. So take a moment now to install the browser plug-ins.
