APC is offering this Flagging Train-the-Trainer course to help attendees comply with the requirements in Publication 213. It has been designed to satisfy the minimum training guidelines outlined in Publication 408. Trainees that successfully complete this session will receive a wallet-sized training verification card and access to the PowerPoint, 20-question exam, and a template to create future trainee verification cards.
