E-Rate Q&A Session for Form 471

No pre-registration is required, although you will be required to sign-in when you log-in to the webinar. For individuals that may not be familiar with webinars, you simply log-in to a pre-announced website where you will view the training online from the comfort of your own computer. (A brief list of reminders will be presented, with most of the session reserved for applicants’ live written and voice questions). Detailed instructions are listed below in order to prepare your computer for the webinar and to participate the day of the event.
