PATC Webinar attendance at over 15,000 and growing! <as of May 2013>
PATC Webinars offer practical training at a cost that any agency can afford. For the price of a single registration, agencies can have as many officers as they wish view the webinar from a single location, and all who view the webinar receive a certificate of training completion by completing the group viewing sign-in sheet. Instructions for obtaining the sign-in sheet are given during the webinar. Attendees on group sign in sheet must be with same agency as the registered attendee.
REGISTRATION, PAYMENT AND RECEIPTS (Important!)
Upon registering for any PATC Webinar you will recive an email from "messenger" with your access information. If it is a paid webinar then you will receive a second "messenger" email with your payment receipt ~ this is your master copy of the receipt. These emails come from an automated system and sometimes get directed to bulk / junk / spam folders instead of your "Inbox" - check all necessary folders for the "messenger" email for your registration information and payment receipt.
HOW DO I PAY? Registration for PATC webinars requires payment online by either credit card, PayPal or registration code. If you cannot pay online by credit card or PayPal, we can invoice you upon receipt of our order form.
USING ORDER FORM: Instead of paying online, you may use our order form. Use the order form to 1) process registration by invoice, or 2) register multiple webinars on one order, or 3) order recorded/past webinars on disk. Click Here to download Order Form
Registering for a Live Webinar, unless otherwise stated on the details page for each respective webinar, gives you access to the Live Webinar only, and all referenced materials. If you miss the Live webinar you will be offered a webinar credit for the value of the live webinar or payment refund.

Registering for a Recorded Webinar only gives you access to the recording, and any referenced materials.
GROUP VIEWING:
Agencies across the country are connecting their training room computer up to a big-screen monitor or projector and having as many officers as they need view a PATC Webinar. What is the cost for group viewing? Only the cost of a single registration - normally $35 (limited to single location viewing).
Group viewing only applies to viewing from a single location. If you have attendees viewing from multiple locations then multiple registrations are required (technical limitation)
"Groups" must all be associated with the same agency as the registered attendee
