Click the module title to bring up the most current version of the training manual and to see a brief description of the module. Feel free to download any manual for your use. However, we suggest that you go through a training session first. It’s just easier to understand the process when you walk through it with someone the first time.

One-on-one trainings can be done at your work station; group training is handled at a suitably equipped conference room or computer lab on campus. Training sessions are informal and can be tailored to your departments’ unique requirements.

To request a training workshop on one of these topics please call Lauri Garman at 882-7754 or email at mucashiertraining@missouri.edu
