Education

IATSE 212 is committed to helping members upgrade their skills and the IATSE 212 Education Committee updates courses on an ongoing basis. Certain courses are prerequisites for being considered for a department, and others are required before permittee status will be considered. A completed department application must be received prior to registering for department specific courses. Once your application has been received you will be contacted to complete the registration process. Thank you.
DEADLINE: Registration is required 1 week prior to the course date. Fees are due once assigned to a course.
Here is the reason why to REGISTER TODAY > a minimum class size is required for a successful learning experience for all. If we don't get enough registrations in time, we have to cancel the course which is disappointing for all.
