The NIST Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) National Legal Metrology Program (NLMP) is pleased to announce that several webinars are now recorded and available for use at your leisure as a resource to assist the weights and measures community with ongoing education. These on-demand recordings of webinars are available on our e-Learning Resources page, which is part of the overall OWM Products and Services webpage.
NIST OWM receives numerous requests to provide training throughout the year. We look to meet the needs of our community while continuing to develop new relevant offerings to encourage participation in professional development and enhance technical skills. The decision to record “regularly held OWM webinars” was in response to these ongoing requests from our stakeholders. OWM continues to develop new e-learning webinars for our customers, which has enabled us to supplement the traditional method of hosting quarterly webinars, held on a certain date and time, to educating through on-demand webinar classes.
Webinar training has emerged as a powerful tool for delivering educational content to weights and measures officials and industry. It offers several advantages over traditional in-person training, including convenience, accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to reach a targeted audience. It is a flexible, efficient, and effective way to deliver educational content to our stakeholders. Accessing recorded webinars allows the participant to learn at their own pace and schedule. They are also provided a great opportunity to watch the webinar again to ensure understanding and to facilitate the accurate application of the topic.
The following is a list of the current recorded webinar training offered.
- NIST Handbook 130 Webinar recordings
- NIST Handbook 133 Webinar Recordings
The following are Webinars in the process of being recorded that will be released by the end of 2024:
- Weights and Measures Inspections: Evidence, Search, Seizures and Due Process
- Precision Scales Overview
In addition to recorded webinars, please see the complete list of e-learning resources available:
