Certification to Reserve Equipment

We now use the online software:
Reftab.com as our equipment-reserve provider.

With Reftab, students can learn how to reserve and sign out the latest state-of-the-art equipment for a truly hands-on experience. Equipment can be reserved for 108 hours, weekends included.

In order to check out equipment,
both online and in-person,
students must get certified.

Follow the steps below:

  1. Students are required to preview the Camera Certification videos below in advance to familiarize themselves with the certification procedures.
  2. Students will have to pass the written certification test in order to perform the hands-on camera certification in-front of one of our CNM Staff.
  3. Once students are certified to use the equipment, they need to register for a new account by using their school commnet e-mail (eg: msmith0036@mail.ct.edu) and cellphone # and going to the following link:  https://www.reftab.com/login.
