Hard copy manuals are available at cost. The cost for printed publications is anywhere from $5.00 to $20.00 (tax included) depending on the publication.

The basic training manuals have been converted for on-line downloading. There is no cost to download any of the manuals. The format for downloading is Adobe Portable Document Format, commonly known as PDF. The size of the file is also provided because some of the files may be large. If you have problems downloading PDF documents you may need to reset your default browser.
