Attend a Webinar

Webinars are courses that you attend online, at a scheduled time, via videoconferencing. You'll want to access the webinar directly from your TR Learning platform so your progress can be tracked. Webinars may be divided into sessions. As a learner, you may be asked to attend one or multiple sessions to complete the course.

Join the Webinar session

If you've already enrolled in one or more webinar sessions, you should've received a confirmation email. When it's time to join the session, simply select the link in the email to sign in and open the session.
If you didn't receive the email or you didn't pre-enroll, sign in to the Learning platform and find the course from the Catalog or My Courses - Not Started area (depending on whether or not you are already enrolled).
