[[Training Policy]] Blurb
+
−
If you want '''training''' on a tool that requires it, you can post on the relevant slack channel or mailing list, and someone will get back to you to arrange training. Some trainers have created online training in Google Classrooms which must be completed prior to in-lab training. You can also do this if you need help on a project or with a tool that may not need formal training but that you’re unfamiliar with anyway

* '''3D Printer''' filament is an exception to the consumables policy. Details are covered in the training.

2 badge types, "Members Only" and "Training Required"

* To get '''training''' on a tool, post on the relevant slack channel.

* The training for each tool is different but often includes and online portion and an in-person portion.
