For the 2018 season there will only be webinar training options. All individuals are able to attend any of the webinars from their home, library, or family computer etc.

However, throughout the state, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach are helping us deliver these webinars February through April to those without access to a computer.

You must sign the sign in sheet at the office to account for your attendance. The last two webinars in May and June will be online only and will not have extension office locations.
