Training
Generally, we conduct a few training classes during the year at our
Research Triangle Park, NC facility or Regional Offices. These classes
are scheduled as the need is identified. If you are looking for a class,
you may also want to contact your EPA Regional Office, since they
sometimes hold training classes that we may not be aware of at the
national level. Another source of AQS training for tribal users is the
Institute for Tribal Environmental
Professionals (ITEP) 
.
Online training courses on AQS and Discoverer are available
For more information: Contact the AQS Regional EPA contact or the NADG staff.
