WWET manages the rosters for the WWET classes. To reserve a seat for a WWET class, you must email us and ask that a seat be reserved in your name. You no longer have to register for the class in the LVVWD Learning Management System. Your supervisor’s approval is still required in order for you to attend the class.

 You will receive an email from WWET once you have a confirmed seat in the class. Do not go to the class unless you have a confirmed reservation from WWET.

 A copy of your confirmation will also be sent to Employee Development at LVVWD, at which time your enrollment will be entered into the Learning Management System. After your supervisor has approved this registration, you will be sent a confirmation from the Learning Management System along with reminders a week prior to the class.

This is just a formality so that we have a record of the supervisor’s approval, you receive the reminders, and your attendance of the class is recorded. WWET is still the system of record.]]> http://wwet.org/lvvwdsnwa/feed/ 0 Register http://wwet.org/register/ http://wwet.org/register/#comments Mon, 08 Nov 2010 19:15:42 +0000 reyalonzo http://wwetnv.adminpilot.net/ If you are an LVVWD/SNWA Employee, see that link for instructions:

Guidelines

WWET wants the education experience to be positive and rewarding for everyone involved.

 Demonstrations of your products and hands-on practice for students as part of these classes is encouraged. Parts from and pictures or diagrams of your products can be used as handouts. We will provide a place for brochures, literature, business cards, and videotapes as space allows.

 Individual WWET members, in their capacities at their respective agencies, cannot endorse your products or services or recommend that you be contacted to give training. Vendors are invited to present a class because a member of the water/wastewater community suggested that the presentation of their product information is anticipated to be interesting and educational. This invitation is not extended as an endorsement of any vendor’s product by WWET.

 WWET-sponsored training will have State of Nevada pre-approval for contact hours.

 WWET will issue proof of completion for all training it sponsors, containing the class title, the presenting organization, the participant’s name, the date(s) of the class, and the number of contact hours approved by the State of Nevada.

 Vendors and instructors may also issue their own Certificates of Completion from their company. Please pre-arrange this with the WWET representative for that class. Alternatively, mail your company’s certificates directly to attendees using your own attendance roster.
