Class Requirements: (needed to be presented and cleared before signing up for a training session) NO EXCEPTIONS

The designated Authorized Signatory of the tenant is required to provide a Badge Application Record TVC Badge Class Form. This form certifies that the applicant is an employee of the particular tenant/company, requires unescorted access to the AOA or SIDA, and states whether the individual will need to have fingerprints and/or driving privileges.
