We offer many courses that are designed to be taken in sequence or building block order, to reinforce and build on the skills being taught at each level in the series. For example, you would need to understand grammar and punctuation before you could write a clear and concise sentence. Therefore, we would encourage you to take Understanding and Using Effective English before you would take Fundamentals of Writing. Courses are 1-3 days in length and held during the workday. They are designed to minimize time away from the office.
Supervisory approval is required to attend.
Instruction is offered at no cost to you or your agency. Reimbursement of travel, lodging, meals and parking expenses is at the discretion of your agency. The personal computer software courses are offered at the Training and Technology Center in Albany and at agency work sites, provided certain requirements can be met. Course catalogs are distributed to agency Training, Personnel, Affirmative Action Offices, and PC Information Centers. Course catalogs are also mailed to CSEA Local Presidents.
