Enrollment in these courses is different than what you would normally do to get enrolled in the courses:

1. Select the class(es) to attend.

2. Secure the necessary approvals from your state (DO NOT MAKE REQUEST IN AGLEARN)

3. Email clyde.goodman@ftw.usda.gov with your request.

4. Clyde will enroll you in the class(es) and notify you of your enrollment.

This special process is being used to give priority to members and others attending the conference. This process was reviewed with the state training officers at the last Training Officers Teleconference.
