How to make a Local Union Request (LUR)

All our online courses (like Area Schools) are by local union request. The local should send an email to: @email outlining their needs and preferred dates.

Members, please contact your own local to make a request.

Course requirements for each participant

Each member / participant will need their own set up:  A personal email address (No employer emails due to firewalls), a computer equipped with a web camera (webcam) as well as a microphone and speakers (or headphones), and a stable internet connection. A tablet (e.g., iPad) or phone can also be used but not ideal because of their size.

The First Step

Each member, before registering for their first course, needs to create your own 'Profile' on our e-Learning Platform (DOCEBO). This user & password will be your login each time you take an online course - it will let you in to your own personal dashboard.

• Navigate to  https://unifor.docebosaas.com/learn  at the bottom of the box you will see ' New User? Register '.
• Click 'Register' and fill in your information. PLEASE use your email address as your "USER"
