In this article we will cover how to sign up for trainings offered by the DFL Data Team. We are accepting sign ups for all trainings, but note that you will not receive an invitation to your desired training until the week of the training. 


You can sign up directly on the DFL Training Hub. If you haven't used the Training Hub before, follow our instructions here


VAN Training -- All VAN users must take EITHER a recorded or live training


Option A: Recorded VAN training is available in full on the Training Hub. From the Content page on the Training Hub, please search "2024 Required VAN Training" and filter to "Learning Paths." See the screenshot below for how to find the correct learning path:



Live courses are currently held every Thursday evening at 6:30pm!



In the Training Hub, please search for "2024 Live VAN Trainings." Training sign ups close 24 hours before the session. 


Action Network


Action Network has a great how-to video on how to send emails using the service.


We also have a knowledge base article covering the basics. Our article Frequently Asked Questions on Action Network is also a useful starting point.


Instructions on how to target post-2022 districts can be found here.


Data Office Hours

We hope you can join us for one or all of our trainings, however we know this schedule will not work for each individual's schedule. We are happy to connect at other times for more group trainings!
