If you like to learn at your own pace, want to jump around and pick topics that interest you, or don’t have time to attend a classroom session, the Self-Guided Training videos were developed as another resource for our members. No logon is required; therefore, your progress will not be recorded nor saved. Please make sure to have enough time to view each section in its entirety or write down where you stopped so you can go back to it later. The videos can be viewed on most web browsers and have speaking narrators, so please turn on the volume. If you prefer, Closed Captions are also available. You can view the videos in the comfort of your home, on a cellphone, your work computer, or any device with wi-fi or internet access. Please follow department policy regarding work computers and get supervisory approval to review the materials during working hours. If you have any questions accessing the videos, or have suggestions for improvements, please send us an email at retire@ladwp.com. Please note: If you need to fast forward or rewind a section, you must view the slide in its entirety to unlock the playback bar.
