Advanced GAIL Courses
After GAIL 101 All Users, you can choose to specialize in a specific area of GAIL by working with someone on the Client Services Team to accomplish your #GAILgoals! Whether you choose a stewardship, fundraising, events, or marketing course depends upon what your job responsibilities are. There’s a lot to learn when it comes to GAIL, but don’t panic — our courses incorporate learning in the eLC that you take at your own pace before in-class sessions.

Wait, what is the eLC?
With the coronavirus pandemic increasing the need for remote work, the Client Services team is adapting our conventional training. The eLearning Commons (eLC) is the online learning management system for the University of Georgia. This website allows us to create videos where we will demonstrate some #GAILskills and pose questions about what you learned. This allows you to the get the most out of learning, all at your own pace, before you even begin your in-class session!

Have any other Questions?
That’s a lot of options when it comes to GAIL training, right? If you’d like more information about any one training there are several resources available:
- The available courses page has more information about each individual class.
- The registration page for each class also has more detailed info for that class including how long it is, who it is intended for, prerequisites, etc.
- Any member of the Client Services team will be happy to talk with to find out what you need to do and which training will help you learn how to do it.
- You can always email askit@uga.edu, our ticketing system, with any GAIL questions or concerns that you have and a team member will be in touch!
