Regularly scheduled authorizations should be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar]. Other authorizations are done in a few different ways. Viral-type authorizations only need you to find a willing authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization. Some are handled by an area's volunteer authorizer or a short list of trainers or proctors. Check the specfic tool/equipment wiki page. You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or sometimes the protocol is to post a request on the PS1 mailing list.
