The online tutorial is a web-based course that lays the foundation for using MERS-TM. Together with the online tutorial, the QA SysOp Self-Instructional Practice Kit provides the core training for QA Systems Operators (referred to in MERS-TM as QA SysOps). The practice kit will build on the web-based tutorial by providing hands-on practice with cases, coding, filling out forms, and building causal trees. The classroom courses are being designed for local use at participating MERS-TM sites. They will provide internal training materials for individuals at various levels who are called upon to use the system. (The QA SysOp Classroom training can be substituted for the Self-Instructional Practice Kit in organizations for whom the classroom format is applicable.) In addition, the MERS-TM Reference Manual provides a thorough overview of the system and can be viewed online or printed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. for additional information. ![]() |
