How Do I Learn More About That?

Posted on 12 December 2014

We've added a new feature to the RTS Portal to help you get more of the information that you are searching for through I-CAR training courses.

We've started by adding this enhancement to the Ask I-CAR section of the website with plans to expand it to other areas. You will notice an area after the response that shows the I-CAR courses that are related to the Ask I-CAR inquiry. Each course is linked to the I-CAR course description page and easy access to locating a course near you. There are also links to applicable Product Sheets that give highlights of the course.

There are a lot of I-CAR courses to choose from and sometimes it's difficult to identify which one will be most beneficial to you. As you are searching through the Ask I-CAR past inquiries, pay attention to the courses that are suggested and if the same course keeps coming up, you may want to consider making it your next training event.
