Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve been to a Tetra Tech in-person training in the past. Will these online trainings provide similar benefits and value?

Rest assured that our online trainings equal our in-person trainings, such as IMDS training, in the past. In fact, we have been working on multiple features to even the value our trainings provide. For example, users will have access to multiple community features and free resources once they purchase a course. Plus, all trainings can be done remotely, at any time — for greater convenience and less disruption to productivity.

I’d like to provide this training to my entire supply chain. Do you offer discounts.
