Advance reservations in SIDA Class must be made; walk-in students are not accepted.
Please do not show up at the Badging Office without already having a SIDA Class reservation because each class can accept a very limited amount of students due to social distancing requirements in the post-COVID era. Call the Badging Office at (314)426-8095 to make your reservation after your badge approval has been received by your employer or sponsoring Authorized Signatory.
Bring all these items when you come to check in for your SIDA Class:
* Your two or more valid government-issued identification documents (your driver's license is one of you required ID's if you will be driving inside the fence line perimeter at STL).
* Black or blue pen to take class notes and for the test.
* Non-alcoholic beverage if you would like one to drink during class.
* Snack for the break outside of the classroom because you cannot eat food in the classroom.
* Payment for your badge if your company is not invoiced for your badge fees ($45 cash or company check payable to "City of St. Louis Treasurer")
* Jacket or sweater because the classrooms are usually very cold and we cannot change the thermostats.
