Full course description
Welcome!
This online training is not an "informational course," but is a rigorous course composed of eleven modules in which participants complete work products, guided by ITEP instructional staff. Modules contain presentations via webinar, homework assignments, interactive discussions, and one-on-one assistance.
This course is designed for tribal environmental professionals who are currently monitoring or collecting data for at least one criteria pollutant or for meteorological conditions. It is not possible to take the course without having criteria air pollutant or meteorological data files from their air monitoring stations as the assignments are built around each individual’s data. Demonstrations use example data, but all assignments are individualized to each participant. Participants are expected to have an intermediate-level working knowledge of Microsoft Windows. Although the course is structured around a Microsoft Access database, the database is form-driven and user-friendly; therefore, no previous Access experience is necessary.
Tribal Data Toolbox weekly webinars will be held on Wednesdays beginning 4-11-18 and going through 6-27-18 (excluding 5-16-18) at 9:00am PT | 10:00am MT | 11:00am CT | 12:00pm ET. Webinars will be recorded and over 50 additional videos cover every Toolbox function. During this training, participants will import continuous pollutant and met data, begin entering data from quality control checks performed on their air monitoring samplers, validate their data, generate reports, charts and AQS-formatted files.
This online training is equivalent to 8 continuing education units (CEUs) and requires approximately 80 hours of total learning time over the course of twelve weeks. Learning objectives are provided at the beginning of each module below.
