November 6, 2007: Finalized course agenda for APTI450 Nov. 12 - 16, 2007 is now posted.

August 20, 2007: There has been some confusion regarding the APTI450: Stack Sampling class. This course will be held November 12 - November 16, 2007.

APTI classes at Rutgers University are offered through the support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Education and Outreach Group. With the availability of a stack lab and a variety of air pollution instrumentation, laboratory based training is the preferred method of training at the Rutgers Area Training Center. In addition to traditional classroom and laboratory instruction, Rutgers also serves as a satellite downlink site for EPA's Air Pollution Distant Learning Network. If interested in attending a satellite class at Rutgers, please contact Bob Porcja (see contact information below).

APTI Courses at Rutgers are FREE OF CHARGE for employees of State and Local Environmental U.S. Government agencies. Beginning in 2006, all United States federal and foreign country federal employees will be charged $25/day. For all others, the cost is $150/day. We ask that payment for a course be negotiated before the class begins.

Classroom Location: APTI courses at Rutgers are held at the Operator Training Center (OTC) on the Cook Campus in New Brunswick, NJ. A map and directions to the OTC can be found here.

Hotels: Information about a number of hotels nearby the Rutgers OTC can be found here. Many students choose to stay at a hotel on the Cook Campus called The University Inn. The University Inn has a website here.

Transportation: Students flying in for courses at Rutgers typically come in to either Newark Airport in Newark, NJ, or JFK Airport in New York City. It is highly recommended that students rent cars both for getting to Rutgers from the airport and for getting around the Rutgers campus and surrounding area during the week of class. If renting a car for the week is not an option, a shuttle service from either of the two airports to the East Brunswick Hilton is available at http://www.goairporter.com/. From the Hilton, a ten minute taxi cab ride can bring you to either the OTC or to the University Inn.
