How to Access APDS Courses with a New User Login
Overview
Registration for the APDS Essentials course is handled through the International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI) website.

Follow the steps below so you know what to expect.
Step 1: Start with Your Email Address
1. On the IPMI Login page, you will see a box labeled Email.
2. Type the email address you want to use for the training.
