-==== How to start making PCBs at The Hive ====
+==== The Guide ====
-**Will the PIs at the Hive make a board for me?**\\
+Which process are you interested in?
-No, even better: we’ll train you! That’s right, for a mere four hours of your time, you will gain the ability to make as many PCBs as you want for free and can reserve time on the equipment! What a great deal, what a time to be alive. Only making one board? It can take several tries to get it right. In other words, if you think you only need one board done, you might actually need two!

-**What’s the process for getting trained?**\\
-Training is a three step process that is handled through SUMS.
-  - Complete the training session itself.
-  - Pass the 10 question quiz.
-  - Successfully fabricate our training board under the guidance of a PCB trainer during a Checkoff.
-** What is SUMS? **\\
-If you have no idea what SUMS is, have no fear. SUMS (Shared User Management System) is a user access control system made here at Tech that The Hive uses to control access to some of the more sensitive or complicated tools. For PCB fabrication, it is also used to manage training and checkoff sessions, and users can schedule time on the tools through it, as well. You can get many more details in our [[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XLLOS43sQd6rzWll8cAxkvRiArmIGGvpcC-y9uXCOek|SUMS Guide]].
-** How do I join a training session OR request a new one? **\\
-If you haven’t been to The Hive, you’ll need to join our “Equipment Group” first:
-  - Go to sums.gatech.edu and login (button is on the top right of the screen).
-  - In the main toolbar on top, click "Equipment Groups" > "Equipment Groups List".
-  - Search for "The Hive" (no quotes). Click the link.
-  - Click "Become a member". Follow the prompts to join. Note that the "exam" is simply our liability policy.
-Congrats! Now you can begin the PCB training process.
-//To register for a training session that has already been created://
-  - Go to sums.gatech.edu and login (button is on the top right of the screen).
-  - In the main toolbar on top, on the right, click "Set Active BG/EG". Make sure your Billing Group is "Interdisciplinary Design Commons" and your Equipment Group is "The Hive".
-  - In the main toolbar on top, in the middle, click "Equipment Groups" and then "Hive - Training".
-  - You should see all the available training sessions that The Hive is offering through the SUMS system. Sign up for the one that works for you.
-//If there are no training sessions, or none of the scheduled ones work for you, you may request a new one://
-  - Go to sums.gatech.edu and login (button is on the top right of the screen).
-  - In the main toolbar on top, on the right, click "Set Active BG/EG". Make sure your Billing Group is "Interdisciplinary Design Commons" and your Equipment Group is "The Hive".
-  - Somewhere in the main area of your main screen, you will find a section called, "Find training requirements". Click it and search for "pcb plotter" (no quotes). Select S116.PCBPlotter-01 to get to the PCB plotter's training requirements screen.
-  - Click on "Request a new training session". Please make a selection for all five slots. If you are available more times, add those in the notes section. More availability is better than less! However, even though you have requested one, it is possible that none of these times will work for our trainers (we’re students too!). If this is the case, we will try to email you to find another time.
-Training sessions can be held anytime (including (and preferably!) when The Hive is closed).
