Certificate process

  1. Enroll in each class of the series on the LMS per your availability
  2. Track course completions on the tracking sheet
  3. Once complete, have your supervisor verify and sign off on your tracking sheet
  4. Send the signed tracking sheet to your agency's Training Liaison

PDS will take it from here! You will receive your certificate signed by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, DAS director, and your department's director.
