Training

Login to the Texas Inventionworks canvas site for all training classes and updated information on how to get trained.

  • Note on group training: If you have a large group that needs in-person training on equipment and are unable to have them successfully sign-up for their training through canvas bookings, you can request a seperate training for your group through this form and we will do our best to try and accommodate your request.
