Is there accessibility?

The State Personnel Board is accessible to participants with disabilities. Please specify the nature of your impairment and what is needed to accommodate you, be specific and include your direct telephone number. The Statewide Training Program will consult directly with you to determine what is necessary for accommodation under the terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Please let us know if you wish to bring your own reader, interpreter, or service assistant. The Statewide Training Program will provide a seat for your assistant without charge to your department.

Can I cancel?

If you cannot attend class, you must contact your department training coordinator either to find a substitute or to cancel the registration. If a substitute is sent, the substitute need only to sign in on the class roster in your place. If cancelling the class, the training coordinator must FAX the Statewide Training Program notice of cancellation five working days before the first day of the training class, otherwise, full tuition will be charged.

If you do not cancel in a timely manner, nor attend the class, the full tuition will be charged. To avoid a no-show status, you must attend the first scheduled day of the class.

Can I make-up the class?

If you are able to attend part of a class but unable to complete it, you may make arrangements with the Statewide Training Program to make up the remainder of the class at a later date for no additional charge. Some limitations apply. Contact the Statewide Training Program within 10 working days of the make-up class start date to determine if space is available.

Are there custom dates?

If there are 20 or more participants that need to enroll in the same class, the Statewide Training Program may be able to arrange a session for them at your location or ours. Call us to discuss providing a special training session for your agency.
