GoToTraining - Joining A Training

Joining a Training

It is strongly recommended attendees join the meeting 15 minutes before the start time (especially for first time attendees to the GoToTraining service).  This allows time to download necessary programs and become accustomed with the control panel and its features.

To join a training session, you must first register for the session. Click the Registration link from the GoToTraining invitation email to fill out the registration form.

From the Registration and Catalog pages, you can click Show in My Time Zone and then select your own time zone from the drop-down menu to set and view training sessions in your selected time zone. All future emails for the training session display the training session's date and time in your selected time zone.

If you have registered through an invitation email or registration link, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join the training. If you are joining a training session that is already in session and have not yet registered, you will be prompted to do so.

Note: Some training may require your approval prior to the delivery of a confirmation email.
