Spotters and ASP's - Do it now and avoid future AgLearns

You need to make sure that training has a paper copy of ALL of your IAT (Interagency Aviation Training) completion certificates. These need to be in your IQCS record, for the following classes:
A-101, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 113, 115, 116, 200 & 204

At some point IAT will switch over to AgLearn, so getting this done now might not be a bad idea.
