Regularly scheduled courses, workshops, and self-instructional courses
are offered free of charge to employees of multi-state, state, local,
and tribal air pollution control agencies. APTI also offers special
courses and workshops, and development of internal training programs
to these agencies. The curriculum is organized according to subject
matter and courses are available via four delivery formats: classroom,
telecourse, self-instructional, and web-based.
Registration is required for some courses. Information as to which
courses require registration and how to register can be found at APTI Registration Procedures. Individuals
outside the U.S. may participate in self-instructional, classroom,
and telecourses by contacting the APTI
International Training Coordinator.
Course Formats
Web-Based Courses
There are two types of web-based courses:
PDF Courses
Each PDF course includes content
material, as well as an online test and certificate of mastery.
We encourage you to print the course material to use as a study
guide and as a reference for the online test. CEU credits are available for PDF courses, however, you must be a registered APTI user.
Online Courses
For online courses, all material is included within
the web application and no material needs to be downloaded. CEU
credits are not available for online courses, however, upon successful
completion of the online test, the user will receive a certificate
for their records. APTI registration is not required for online courses.
APTI is in the process of developing and converting classroom
and self-instructional courses to online courses. As these are
completed, they will be added to the web-based course list.
Classroom Courses
Classroom courses are presented by recognized professionals, including
consultants and university faculty of the Area Training Centers (ATC). Courses are taught at these
universities and other locations as indicated in the APTI consolidated classroom schedule. In order to receive a certificate of completion for
a classroom course, you must pass a post test, complete class assignments,
attend/participate in class sessions, and submit a course evaluation.
(Other requirements may apply depending on the nature of the course).
Employees of multi-state, state, local, and Tribal air pollution
control agencies must register for scheduled classroom courses by
contacting the course provider/host. Individuals from the private
sector are welcome to participate in classroom courses, but should
contact the sponsoring organization for space and fee information
no less than two weeks prior to the course start date.
Telecourses
There are two types of telecourses:
APTI 300 and 400 Level Telecourses
Telecourses are delivered through satellite broadcasts received in designated
downlink sites. They are designed for a broad audience and
use audiovisual materials that are often not available in other courses.
As with classroom courses, instructors are recognized professionals in
the subject area. To register for a 300 or 400 level course, you must
first contact your downlink site coordinator and then register through
APTI using the APTI application form.
Telecourse Workshops
Most telecourse workshops focus on emerging issues and specialty
areas. To participate in a workshop, you must contact the Air Pollution Distance Learning Network (APDLN) Site Coordinator
responsible for the site you will attend. Seating at most sites
is limited, so please contact the appropriate site coordinator
in advance of the broadcast date to confirm seating and availability
of course materials. APTI registration is not required for workshops.
Self-Instructional Courses
Self-instructional courses are available free of charge to employees
of multi-state, state, local and Tribal government air pollution
control agencies. Please check the Web-based courses to see if the course is available
online. Courses that are not available online can be obtained by
registering through APTI using the APTI application form. In order to receive CEU credits
for a self-instructional course, you must register with APTI.
