Notes

  • DIR serves as the educational sponsor and will award continuing education credit
  • There is no cost to attend, but we need a minimum of 10 people per class (max 30). It's really important to avoid no shows - cancel if plans change.
  • Registration, confirmation, and reminders are being handled by Microsoft, so watch for those communications. Follow THEIR instructions on changes/cancellations.
  • When you register  -  do check the box that they can share your info with your employer/organization. (Tips, more info, offers is up to you.)
  • Pay attention to the note on the registration page that you need to watch for credential info from [email protected]. You need that license information when you come to class. 
  • Send questions to [email protected] and  [email protected].

DIR thanks Microsoft for making this valuable training available to Texas agencies as part of the Technology Today Series (TTS).
