Access to the SKIL building – 2 steps required
To access the SKIL building, you need to follow 2 steps:
1. Every year around September:
Follow and complete the online training -> make.epfl.ch/training
2. ONCE IN YOUR CURRICULUM:
Take a SKIL Safety Tour (30min) with registration at go.epfl.ch/skil-training.
This is the first part of the general training course, covering issues relating to IT resources, prototyping resources and the choice of your project from a portfolio (several projects can be selected).
To take this training course, please visit the following link: make.epfl.ch/training
This training, and only this training, must be repeated every year.
Please note that each project has a validator who confirms whether or not you are part of this group. For MAKE projects, this is the project’s EPFL coordinator, for courses it’s a course assistant, etc. So please be careful when making your choice, to avoid having to repeat the training!
NOTE: If you are not part of a recognized project, you can choose “OTHER – Basic Training only”.
Congratulations, you’ve taken the first step. You can now register for the SKIL safety visit below.
