Self-Instructional Courses

List of Self-Instructional Courses

Self Instructional Courses Available Online
You can take APTI self-instructional courses via the Internet through the APTI Virtual Classroom. 

The APTI Virtual Classroom gives you the opportunity to take EPA’s Air Pollution Training Institute self-instructional courses at your leisure.  EPA established its Air Pollution Training Institute (APTI) over 30 years ago to provide technical air pollution training to environmental professionals in state, tribal, and local governments.  Now this premiere technical air pollution training material is available to all with Web access.

Registration For Self-Instructional Courses Not Offered Online
As we migrate courses to the Internet, students wanting to take courses not yet available online must register (without a fee) through the APTI Registrar using the APTI application. Employees of multi-state, state, local, and tribal air pollution control agencies must register (without a fee) through the APTI Registrar using the APTI application. Registration questions may be directed to the APTI Registrar at miller.deborahr@epa.gov.
 

Major Features

  • May begin a self-paced course at any time
  • May require an audio tape cassette player and a 35-mm slide projector or VHS video player/recorder (not applicable to courses available online)
  • Course manuals retained by students who complete a self-study course
Audio/visual materials used in self-instructional courses must be returned to APTI.
