AUGI Training Program (ATP) courses offer free training to AUGI members. The duration of each ATP course is three weeks, with a fourth week devoted to continued communication among students and instructors leading up to course completion.

At the beginning of each course, a written segment will be available for download. Each participant registered for a particular course can download and read the offered segment and post questions in a private forum available within the AUGI Forums.

Private Forums/Email Subscription

The private forum provides a medium for class interaction with the instructor. All forum threads will be available only to registered participants. The course instructor will act as the forum moderator, but anyone registered in the course can comment or answer questions raised by others. At the end of the course, the private forum will remain open for one additional week of discussion with other registered participants and/or with the instructor.

Once you register for a course, you will automatically be subscribed to the private forum set up for that class. Within the forums you will post questions and receive answers from either the instructor or other students registered for the course. In addition, you will receive email notifications when new posts are made to the private forum for your course.

Access to Course Materials

After you register for a course, your "My ATP" will become active. Select "My ATP" from the left-hand sash and you will see the course for which you are registered. At this location you will find a quick link to the private forum for the course and the Segment Download section.

At the beginning of the first week, the first course segment will be available for download. At the beginning of the second week both first and second segments will be available, and so on. At the end of the third week, the "formal" course will end, but the private forum will stay open for an additional week for questions and continued discussion among course participants and the instructor. At the end of the fourth week, the course material will be placed in the ATP Archive directory for a period of three months.

Future Courses

Future course offerings will be posted in the Current Courses section of the AUGI website. Watch this space frequently for updates.
