Important Note!
This is the most current information CAT has about instructor’s training, and is subject to change. Please contact the trainer if you have further questions.
Instructors wishing to earn quarter-units of credit for professional development through CSULA will enroll directly with CSULA, and not the training provider, as was done in years past. Details about credit offered through CSULA are to be announced on this web page as soon as they are finalized (anticipated to be mid-May).
