How do I access my VADETS workbooks?
The VADETS workbooks can be found in each module in the VADETS course and will look like this:

You must use “Adobe Reader” on a Mac or PC computer to complete the workbooks. Below are some tips:
1. Download the file to your computer, BEFORE filling it out. Right-click on the file link and then select “Save Target as” or the option for your web browser that downloads the file.
2. Make sure you have Adobe Reader set as the default program to open the pdf.
3. Do NOT open the workbook from within the web browser, instead go the folder where you saved the file and open it from there.
4. Keep in mind that there is a limit on the file upload size for the completed workbook. Using the “copy and paste” method to complete the workbook can make it too large to upload. Please type your answers in by hand to avoid this problem.
5. If have trouble opening the workbook after it's downloaded, try opening Adobe Reader first, then use the file menu to open the workbook.
6. Safari web browser has problems downloading the pdf workbooks. Try using Chrome or Firefox to download the workbooks.
