This page contains the Training Process Guideline. If you have any questions regarding this guideline, please email the training coordinator at nanotraining@nanolab.ucla.edu.

• Check the Equipment Training List to see which equipments require a second qualifying training session in order to be authorized to use the equipment
• To request equipment training, you must first be placed on the equipment waiting list. This can be done by logging on to the Equipment Reservation and Training System. You must have a Nanolab badge to use this system. If you are a new user and have not used the system before, your password will be “nanolab”.
• Once you have logged on, fill out the Personal Information Form. This step is important if you wish to add your name to the equipment training waitlist.
• For each equipment you wish to be trained on, add your name to the waitlist for that equipment.
• The training coordinator will announce the training session via email with the specific date, time, and machine
• Individuals, who want to be trained, will email Jamie back. PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO THOSE ON THE WAITING LIST.
• An email will be sent out confirming the individuals who will be trained.
• The date and time of the training session will be posted on the Nanolab calendar.
• Users who are placed on a training list and do not show up, will be placed on a blacklist. This means you will have the lowest priority when considered for training on that particular machine you were originally signed up for. Users that have been blacklisted for an equipment will have the word blacklisted next to the equipment on the equipment training system.
• Names of people who have been trained will be removed from the waiting list once a week.
• Once you have been fully trained on a certain equipment, you may log on to the Equipment Reservation and Training System and schedule a time to use the equipment. You can only schedule time if you have been trained on the equipment. Equipment Authorization Approval usually takes 1-2 days after you have been trained. If you have any problems, please contact the training coordinator at nanotraining@nanolab.ucla.edu .
• Please be patient with the training process as there are many students who wish to be trained and a limited number of staff. Usually (based on demand) equipment is scheduled for training once a month.
