Reminder! Register Now for Comprehensive Beginner’s E-rate Training
September 20, 2018
~ New! Afternoon session will focus solely on Category 2 ~
If you need E-rate training, and haven’t yet registered for one of the in-person training sessions this fall, please do so soon. I am sending a final count to the printers tomorrow afternoon and want to make sure I have enough binders for everyone!
Important note: This year’s workshops will differ from prior years in that the morning will deal solely with beginners issues (E-rate rules, application process), and applying for Category 1 services (telecom/Internet). The afternoon session will focus solely on Category 2 (internal connections) so that if you only need Category 2 training, you can just come for the afternoon session. The schedule for the day is as follows:
Morning Session – E-rate for Beginners/Category 1
Check-in will begin at 8:30 a.m.
Training: 9 – noon
Lunch: noon – 12:30
Afternoon Session – Category 2
Training: 12:30 – 3:30
Each training is identical and lunch will be provided if you would like to attend both sessions. Seating is limited to 2 attendees from each school or library (unless you contact me in advance), and you must register to attend (see below). The workshops are free, but a $50 cancellation fee will apply for cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice. Please register as soon as possible so we know how many training materials and lunches to order.
If you are new to the E-rate program, please be sure that you are set up as a User in your school or library’s EPC account and have successfully logged in prior to training. If you are unsure how to do this, please contact me!
Please note: There will be separate E-rate webinar trainings announced soon for returning E-rate applicants as well as other issue-specific webinars.
