What if I arrive and I’ve forgotten to take my training and my badge has expired?

We recommend that you take your online training before you arrive as it will save you time. However, in the event that you can’t, then please enter SLAC through the Main Gate (as your badge won’t let you access Alpine Gate) and come to User Services in the VUE Center.   Online training can be taken in the training room and, once complete, you can receive your badge and be on your way.

If you also need practical training to ensure appropriate access to certain areas, then User Services may be able to help arrange that for you. In that case, you’ll be able to get a new badge with temporary, restricted access, and then once you’ve taken your practical training, Security can activate the appropriate access and, if appropriate, issue a new badge that reflects the new training status.
