Member Training Guide

ByIain Baker

This guide reviews how members can register for and participate in training provided by the Colorado Stormwater Council.

Training Available

  • Instructor-Led Training (ILT) – Instructor-led trainings are hosted live by an instructor in online, hybrid, or in-person formats.
  • Online Training – Online training is available through CSC’s learning management system.
  • Field Trips – In-person events at various facilities to see BMPs in construction, in action, and during testing.

RSVPs – Registering for Training (ILT and Field Trips)

ILT or Field Trip registration is completed through the calendar on our website.

  1. Go to the Calendar
  2. Click on the training you would like to attend
  3. At the bottom of the event, click ‘Going’
  4. Enter attendee details as necessary
  5. Click ‘Finish’

You will receive an email confirmation of your RSVP.

** For ILT and Field Trips please only register yourself. This allows us to send waivers, course materials, and other communications effectively, provide training records that meet state requirements and accurately track the number of participants. To request additional users for your MS4, please email the CSC Co-Chair with name(s) and email address(es).

Updating RSVPs – Changing your response to ‘No’

If you find that you can no longer attend an event, please update your RSVP so another person can attend the training. We pay for the entire class regardless of who shows up, so this will allow us to get the maximum number of participants and make the most of it.

  1. Go to the Calendar
  2. Click on the training you RSVP’d for
  3. At the bottom of the event, click ‘Not Going’
  4. Click ‘Finish’

This will change your RSVP and open up that spot for another person to fill. No other action is required.

Additional Materials and Links to Come

ILT and Field Trips are often hosted or coordinated with outside organizations. These events may be followed up with links (ILT) or waivers (Field Trips). Please reference the event listing details to see if meeting links and other materials will be sent a few days before the event.

Waitlists

When registration is full, you will no longer be able to RSVP, but you can get added to a waitlist. When you are on a waitlist, you will be automatically emailed if and when RSVP’s are changed and availability opens up. Please be sure to go online and RSVP immediately, the open spots will be first come first serve on the waitlist.
