Instructions and Disclaimers
Instructor-led webinars enable busy local officials and staff the training opportunities they need to fit their schedules. Registration is required, and for many classes, space is limited. If an event fills and a waitlist is started, when practical we will try to add another class. RCAP will give local officials and operational staff priority if we are not able to accommodate everyone.
Once registered, please note: if the training is more than 45 days out, you will not receive a follow-up email. Once within the 45-day window, you will receive the follow-up emails.
