Training and Reference

Logistics Information Services Training 

Logistics Information Services Training offers training on all of our products and services. Many of our courses offer classroom instruction as well as Distributed Learning delivery such as Computer Based Training (CBT) on CD ROM/DVD, Web Based Training (WBT), Satellite/VTC Training, and Webinar. Web based training is accessible from this web site to your personal computer. Tailored courses can be developed to meet individual service or agency needs.

Who Can Take the Training?
Training is available to the Department of Defense (DOD), civil agencies, participating allied governments and government sponsored vendors and contractors.

The Training Course Catalog is a source of information that describes the courses of instruction offered by the Logistics Information Services. We are the focal point for developing logistics information training materials, maintaining this material and distributing it to the users. We have developed various course offerings that are delivered in a variety of formats.

History of the Program
The Executive Level Steering Group (ELSG) directed HQ Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to organize a committee of services and agencies to develop a training program for catalogers. In 1981, Logistics Information Services was appointed as the focal point for Federal Catalog System (FCS) Training.

Types of Training Offered
Logistics Information Services offers training on all of our products and services. Many of our courses offer classroom instruction as well as Distributed Learning (DL) delivery such as Computer Based Training (CBT) on CD-ROM, Web Based Training (WBT), Video Tele-Conference (VTC) and Webinar. WBT is accessible from this website. Tailored courses can be developed to meet individual service or agency needs.

Where Is Training Conducted?
Class locations can be at the Logistics Information Services, your work site, or a central/regional location. Check out our Training Calendar   (CAC or User I.D. and Password Required) for a current course schedule.

Distributed Learning

Distributed Learning is instruction that is available remotely, often via the student's desktop computer. Some types of DL do not have to be scheduled nor do you need to travel to participate. The DL Media Selector   (CAC or User I.D. and Password Required) describes all of our delivery types so you can learn about the full range of products that we can develop for your customized Logistics Information Services application. Whether you are a Logistics Information Services program manager who needs to provide employee training or an individual looking for training, our Media Selector will help you decide which delivery type best suits your employees' situation or location (if you are a program manager) or learning style (if you are an individual). We designed this tool to provide information about our DL products and to provide an idea of the type of media that might suit your circumstances based on your business need. Feel free to experiment with the choices to learn about the products and services we offer.

Video Tele-Conferencing, or VTC, provides live, interactive communications perfect for collaborative meetings, instructional courses, and informational presentations. Feedback between participating groups is live and real-time. A VTC is like a conference call that includes a visual element. Specific VTC equipment is required for Video Tele-Conferencing.

It is not necessary to pre-register for these webinars.

A Web Conference, or webinar, provides live interactive communication which can be perfect for training. Feedback between students and the instructor is live and in real-time. While students and the instructor are not able to see one another, the instructor can share actual application screens that can be viewed locally by the students. Currently, audio communication is handled via telephone. The only requirements are a computer with connection to the World Wide Web (a broadband connection is preferable but not required) and a telephone.

Webinars can be highly customized events. The course and course time can be tailored to meet the needs of students. The students can participate from their desks, eliminating the need to book a classroom or travel.

Distributed Learning uses the Defense Collaboration Services (DCS) tool to host webinars. Navigate to the DCS website   (CAC or User I.D. and Password Required) to learn more about this meeting tool.

Note: All webinars are CAC enabled; ensure that the Email certificate is selected. To attend a scheduled webinar, simply double click the desired date/time and subject within the Training Calendar   (CAC or User I.D. and Password Required) for the webinar you would like to attend. Click the Web Link hyperlink at the bottom of the pop-up window and it will take you to the DCS page to attend the webinar. Once logged into DCS, the instructor for the designated course will provide the call-in number for the conference audio line. All webinar times are scheduled in Eastern Standard Time (EST).
