Training (for Self-Serve Equipment)<\/h2>

When you book a training on Calpendo, it will automatically send an\u00a0Onboarding Form for BCCHR Core Technologies<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to fill out. This form will let us know that you have completed all the necessary UBC safety training courses and that you have read all necessary UBC safety policies. This form will ensure that we have approval from your supervisor(s) to receive training on selected equipment(s). Please send the completed signed form to\u00a0core-tech@bcchr.ca<\/a>\u00a0prior to your training. The Core Facilities Operation Manager, Kate, will direct you to the correct trainer.<\/p>

After receiving training on any equipment, you may be required to sign the training record. Please email a completed signed copy to\u00a0core-tech@bcchr.ca<\/a>\u00a0and the respective facility manager. We will then update your training in Calpendo, which opens up the ability to book self-serve on that equipment.<\/p>
