Mandatory Courses

Please be aware that this list of mandated training programs may not reflect training required by all occupations, jobs, positions, agencies, or universities. This list reflects general mandated training requirements that affect all state agencies and universities, based on statutes and state policies. The availability of the courses listed below are through the Office of State Human Resources. However, your agency may have in-house training available to you that satisfies the requirements. Please check with your agency's training department.

If you are required to attend training, or if your agency or university requires training that is not on this list, it does not mean the training is unimportant or unnecessary. It may be training specific to the agency’s or university’s needs.

This is a guide to help agencies and universities determine if their employees are receiving the training required by statutes and state policies. Please keep in mind that this may not be an inclusive list.
