NEW CSIS Training Registration Process

Starting in August 2025, California School Information Services (CSIS) is transitioning away from the Bridge Learning Management System (LMS) to a new CSIS Training Registration website, located here: https://csis.fcmat.org/csis-training

Beginning on August 5, 2025, users must register for CSIS live training through the CSIS Training Registration website. The Bridge LMS will no longer be accessible to users on September 1, 2025.

This change is based on your feedback and our commitment to making training registration more accessible and efficient for all LEAs.

What’s Changing and Why

• No More User Limits: Previously, Bridge LMS restricted access to two users per LEA. With the new Training Registration website, any number of staff from your LEA can register and attend live training sessions, limited by Zoom room capacity.
• No Account Needed: The new registration process is simple and fast. No login or account creation is required: Just fill out a short form to register for a session.
• Improved Scheduling: The new registration site provides a view of all upcoming CSIS and CALPADS training in a single location, making it easier to plan and select training dates that best fit your availability.

We believe that this transition will significantly improve your experience and expand access to vital training content at LEAs across California.
