Here is the information we have already sent:

ARB will be conducting verifier accreditation training in March
2012 for currently accredited verifiers.   The training is
required if you intend to maintain your ARB-accreditation as a
greenhouse gas verifier in 2012 and
after.  Please contact us if you have any questions regarding
training, or if you need more time to submit the application.


Course overview
Two identical training sessions are offered.  Each training
session contains one required training session, and three
optional sector training courses.  Course 1 is the general
verification training focusing on the changes to reporting and
verification in the revised Greenhouse Gas Mandatory Reporting
Rule.  This includes updates to electricity generation,
cogeneration and stationary fuel combustion.  Course 1 is
required for all verifiers that want to maintain their
accreditation.  Courses 2, 3, and 4 are optional.  

The training will be in a webinar format, so you will be able to
attend via your computer.  Course registration is free.  Exams
are free and are offered in Sacramento and Los Angeles the week
after the training session and must be attended in person. Please
let us know which session(s) you are able to attend.
