Register Yourself
Click on the "Register" link for the session you want. You'll be taken to the registration page.
In the fields provided, enter your:
- Name
- Email address
- City
- State
- AAship or Region. We need only your top-level office, not your division, branch, etc. If you're a contractor, please enter the AAship or Region you work for, followed by your company name.
After registering, you will see a confirmation page giving you the URL and phone number for the class. You should also receive an email from "US EPA." SAVE THIS EMAIL. This email has your personal link to attend the training webinar; don't share it with others. If you don't get the email message, please contact us for help.
The system will also send you email reminders about the class with the URL and phone number.
Register a Group
The webinar format assumes each person will be at a single computer. At times, small text may be displayed (for example, in menus or on Web pages) that won't be legible in a conference room or similar group setting. Therefore, we recommend that each participant sit at his or her own desk to have the best view.
However, if you want to gather together, register one person normally. After the session, please send an email with the names of the participants to James Stewart (stewart.jamesl@epa.gov) and Jeff Morin (morin.jeff@epa.gov). Without this email, we won't be able to credit your group for attending.
Join the Session
Ten minutes before the training begins, do two things: go to the URL you got in your registration email, and call into the teleconference line. This gives you time to get in and be ready when the training starts. Do not wait until the scheduled start time to go to the URL or call in.
Go to the URL sent to you in the training registration email
- Open any browser* and go to the URL you were sent. Because you registered already and the URL is unique to you, no further sign-in is necessary.
*More about webinars and system requirements. - The webinar will load automatically. If you are asked to grant permission for software, just click "ok" or "yes." (Webinar may need to download a small piece of software to run on your computer.)
- The webinar window will open automatically. You will see a small window indicating you are ready to join. If the instructor has not yet arrived, you'll see a message to wait.
- Tip - maximize the webinar viewing window for best resolution.
- If you need help, call 800-263-6317 or go to the help Website.
Call into the teleconference line
- Dial 866-299-3188. This is a toll-free call.
- Enter the conference code: 0989777#
- The system will ask whether you are the leader. Do nothing. After a few seconds, it will connect you to the call.
- Mute your line with either your mute button or press *6.
But do not put your phone on "hold." (hold can send music into the call and disrupt the training for everyone else). - To ask a question, unmute or press #6 (if you pressed *6). Just speak up and interrupt the presenter to ask your question.
- Then re-mute your phone (or press *6 again).
If you have problems connecting to the call, please call the telephone conference center at 888-876-3081 and give them the time and title of the session.
After the Session
Please fill out the evaluation form.
You will receive an email reminder giving you the URL.
