What’s Next?
Once your completed Application is received, you will be contacted by an ETP Regional Office analyst to schedule a meeting at your facility or virtually, during which you will review and discuss contracting requirements. All proposals/applications are reviewed and considered for approval by the Panel at regular monthly meetings. You, or a representative of your company, may be required to attend the Panel meeting for a brief presentation and/or to address questions about your proposal. You will be “officially” notified that you may begin training after the Panel approves your training proposal.
