What is an "Open" Training?
ATA sponsors classes on some of the most popular topics at our training center in North Litlte Rock. These classes are "open" to anyone who wishes to register. ATA members enjoy a discount on the material fee.
Non-members must pre-pay for "open" classes.
"Open" Training Payment Policy
Arkansas Transit Association has revised it’s procedures for invoicing participants of “open” classes at our transit training center in North Little Rock. We will be invoicing agencies for all employees registered for such classes. Exceptions will be made when a representative from the organization calls to cancel the registration BEFORE the class begins. This change has been made in response to the increased numbers of “no-shows” for these open classes.
If you know that an employee will be unable to attend a class for which he or she has been registered, you have two options.
1) Send a substitute employee or
2) Call our office or e-mail me before the class begins.
Otherwise your agency will be invoiced for the cost of that person’s attendance. I understand that emergencies happen and things can change very quickly. If you are unable to perform either option, please call me as soon as you can so we can discuss the situation.
We are not requiring pre-payment for the attendees before the class begins. We will continue to invoice your agency following each training. Certificates and invoices will no longer be given to the attending employees. They will be mailed to the agency’s training contact. We are finding out that the paperwork is frequently not being passed along to the proper personnel.
