Certified Operators can earn 8 hours of Computer Based Training (CBT) and Registered Technicians can earn 4 hours of Computer Based Training (CBT). CBT is training that is done by computer in a work-at-your-own-pace environment and ends with at least a 10-question quiz. 

If the training involves a live speaker giving information in real-time via Zoom, the event is NOT a Computer Based Training Event. It is counted as a live event. 

GPCA has WDO, HPC, and Cat. 41 hours available through the learning management system. You can look through those classes by going to the Learning Management System.  You can also reach these offerings by going to the GPCA website. And, as always, if you have trouble with either of these points of contact, you can reach out the a member of the staff by calling 770-417-1419.
