Once she approves your request, you will officially be registered in the class.  If the class has already reached capacity, then you will be placed into "wait-list" status.

(10) At this point you are all set.  We look forward to meeting you at our future trainings.

If you have questions about the DOI Talent registration process

When you submit a booking request for the course, note that there is no payment for the course. You will be placed on an automatic wait list for the Basic, Advanced and Lands Grant Management classes. You will receive an email from DOI Talent when you are actually enrolled in the course (which should be approximately 8-10 weeks prior to the course at the latest). Those enrolling in the online Fundamentals of Real Property Technical Appraisal Reviews course can begin taking the course immediately after receiving your DOI Talent account approval (no wait list).
