IES Web-Based Training

IES is now offering free web-based training sessions for our products. These FREE training sessions range from 15 to 45 minutes in length, with time for questions. The Q&A is open to any questions you might have about IES software and do not need to be related to the session's topic. Training will be recorded and made available for later viewing on the IES web site.

Our goal is to provide you with a quality learning experience so that you can make the most out of your IES tools.

All training is currently scheduled on Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. Mountain Time. The time (and topics) are open to change based on your feedback. We encourage you to request training topics or times that fit better into your schedule. Please send requests to training@iesweb.com.

Registering for the free training sessions is optional. You may attend the day of the session without registering in advanced. By registering in advance you will receive an automated reminder the day before the training.


Technology and Options

Live training is done through a simple software program via your web browser, right from your desk using either speakers or a telephone for the audio.  All you need to do is navigate your browser to the link on the training schedule (or from your email) and the rest will be taken care of automatically.

 

Continuing Education Credits

Certificates of attendance for Professional Development Hours (PDH or CEU) will be provided to registered attendees (who request them) that view the entire live presentation. However, it is your responsibility to determine if this method of continuing education meets your governing board(s) of registration's requirements, including the fact that the sponsor is presenting.
