	'''Check-offs:''' If you already really know how to use the equipment well, you can arrange for a proctor to do a check-off with you. You must have direct experience with that machine or a very close parallel.

	~~Check-off procedure:~~
	*Send a Slack direct message to the appropriate area manager with the most relevant experience you have on this equipment.
	*One of the managers will approve your request for a check-off, or let you know that you need to take the Equipment Training class.
	*If approved, the manager will help you coordinate a check-off with one of our volunteer proctors.
	*The proctor will conduct the check-off test and report back to the manager.
	*The manager will make the final decision of whether you can use the equipment now or need to take the Equipment Training class.

	If there are no scheduled sessions of a class currently available, or none at times that fit your schedule, you can request one. We recommend that members make class requests by posting to the #class-requests Slack channel, which has the advantage that other members interested in the class may see your request and make their interest known, allowing the education team to schedule a session at a time that works for everyone. You can also make class requests by email to <training@makernexus.org>.

	These classes have a specific thing that you build. Small, large, difficult, ~~easy—each~~ class ~~teaches the skills and~~ walks you through the process. At the end you will have something to take home, and you will know enough to try it again on your own. (Project classes are not Equipment Training classes and to use more sophisticated or dangerous equipment on your own, you will still need to complete the appropriate Equipment Training class.) Examples are: Make a Pen on the Wood Lathe; Create a Glass Bead Ornament; Pewter Sand Casting; Create a Cutting Board; Make a Leather Pouch.		These classes have a specific thing that you build.
