Course."  Log into the TMS website using your new “username,” which should be the email address you self-registered with in TMS. Try using the “Forgot Username” option on the main TMS

login page to get this information if you don’t know it. If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to contact the help desk (ext 33-6235) to get your “username” for TMS login and request they add a

direct phone number to your TMS account.  Once you are in TMS, complete the refresher training, print your certificate, and save it digitally.  Certificates should be turned in to your
