APCO Institute presents Web Seminars. Now you can receive the high-quality training you have come to expect from a live APCO Institute course at the convenience of your desk. Developed by communications professionals for communications professionals, our distinguished presenters are public safety communications industry personnel with extensive experience.

Web Seminars are an economical way to present information to groups of employees. The Web Seminar can be displayed via a projector and speaker phone in a conference room so several attendees can be accommodated at once. Web Seminar tuition is charged per log in, not per person.

APCO Institute Web Seminar tuition is very economical at $59 for APCO International Members and $79 for non-members. This includes one hour of training and one continuing dispatch education (CDE) credit. Attendees in a conference setting but not individually logged in may receive CDE points for $15 each.

APCO Institute is committed to bringing you affordable, quality training and education. Please take the opportunity to try out this new learning medium and invite a co-worker or two to join you!
