Please use our online Course Submission web form to submit courses for panel review

Your IAI and iTransfer staff are trying to streamline our course submission processes. The online course submission web form allows us to better track receipt of courses and send confirmation emails to you during the submission process. The online process also allows us to process courses more rapidly. If you submit a course via email, you will receive an email requesting that you utilize our web form which includes the link to the form online.

Our panel members have had trouble viewing documents submitted as Word 2007 (.docx extensions). As a result we are requesting that, whenever possible, you please submit PDF files for your documents. If you are using Word 2007, there is a free plug available from the Microsoft site at: Word 2007 save as pdf. We are working at locating a safe and secure product that will automatically convert any submitted file to pdf. We will post a note when we have located this product. In the mean time, thanks so much for helping us make the process more streamlined.
