LMolineuxLM1 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Signed up and ready to go again. Even though I am not required to renew till next year, i figured why not give this a shot to see how it is, nothing wrong with getting some refreshed details for the up coming thunderstorm season.

dryslotted Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 signed up Do you have to take the classes periodically to stay active? Also, do you need to take any other classes before qualifying? This is my first time taking the class... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first time taking the class... sorry, just saw this...you have to take a class once every 3 years i believe. All you need is basic class to get a card, then advanced to better your knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMolineuxLM1 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I think the session went off without a hitch, and went very smooth. It was done in a very professional timely manner. Very informative and very refreshing. I would attend another one if offered. Very Good Job on everyones part at Mt Holly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 From what I gathered at the office this evening in talking with Greg, the first trial of this training in a webinar format went well. Thanks to all of those who participated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg ralls Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I found it to be very informative and quite enjoyable. I'd been wanting to attend one of these for years but couldn't due to scheduling conflicts, and then when I finally was going to go to one in Delaware County a year or two ago, it was snowed out and I couldn't make the new date. Thanks for doing this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGorse Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 What program do you use for the webinar? I believe it is called 'Go-to-Meeting'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I believe it is called 'Go-to-Meeting'. I have used that in the past and find it to be quite user friendly. Do you mind me asking what prompted the webinar idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gathered, it was to see how well it would work. Another option to conduct training, as not everyone who wants to take a spotter training class is able to drive to where one is being held. The webinar allows for more participation right from your home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw your edit. I am not sure if that is the route we are going. If I hear anything, I will pass it along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMolineuxLM1 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Still no card. Been well past the 5 weeks we were all told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Still no card. Been well past the 5 weeks we were all told. From what I have been told, we are changing the way the spotter ID's are assigned. This may be delaying things even some more. Please be patient.
