Welcome to FSIS online training! Before you begin the online Inspection Methods (IM) training class, it is important to become familiar with how to use the the online teaching systems. 

Training Overview and Instructions: 

This is a self-paced online training course to be completed within the week prior to starting the IM class. The training familiarizes IM participants with the computer/technical systems including how to use: Teams webinar meeting, this FSIS Training Site, and the electronic testing system. Successful navigation of these online systems will enhance your ability log into the IM class content, understand the Teams webinar meeting features and ask questions, locate slides and course content, and get experience using the online testing system. The instructors will also review how to use these systems in-person or online during the first week of IM training.
