COMET Modules/VISIT Training Sessions
|
| The completion of the following COMET modules and VISIT training sessions are recommended as part of the CBM exam study process. Access to COMET's online materials requires registration. However, everything on the MetEd website is available to you at no cost, and no individual information provided through the registration process will be released without your explicit permission. To register on the MetEd site, click on the Sign Up button on the main page or go directly to the registration page: https://www.meted.ucar.edu/registration.php. Once you create an account with the COMET MetEd site, you will be able to search for the following modules: |
