State Training Center Guidelines

Proxy registration

In some cases, departments may elect to have training officers and managers register their personnel for Statewide training courses.  This is known as a proxy registration.   CalHR allows proxy registration, but is not responsible for ensuring ​students are aware of all guidelines, terms and conditions.  Departments are responsible for ensuring all employees who are registered for CalHR training know the State Training Center's guidelines.

How much lead time does CalHR need to meet reasonable accommodation requests?

CalHR's Statewide Learning and Performance Management program requests a minimum of three weeks' notice for reasonable accommodation requests. The Statewide Learning and Performance Management program will do its best to accommodate students within the three week window.

How much lead time does CalHR need if someone is cancelling their enrollment in a class?

Cancellations will be done directly through CalLearns at least five business days before the class starts.

If we don't receive your cancellation request at least five business days in advance, we will charge your department even if you don't attend. We can't reschedule training classes unless we have five business days notice.

​How much lead time will CalHR provide if it is cancelling a training class?

CalHR will provide at least five business days' notice prior to cancelling a class. Students enrolled in classes cancelled within the five day window will not be charged the tuition amount.

What is CalHR Statewide Trainings tardiness policy?

Students who miss more than 15 minutes of class will not receive a completion certificate and their department will be charged the full amount of the course registration unless preauthorized by CalHR Statewide Training or the instructor. The only exception is for a reasonable accommodation which must be pre-authorized.  

​Students who leave more than 15 minutes before the scheduled end of the class for emergencies, child care purposes, etc. will not receive a certificate. Anyone who walks out of class, is more than 15 minutes late after the class (re)convenes, or leaves more than 15 minutes before the class ends will not receive a completion certificate and will be charged the full amount. 

I have an account from my previous department, How do i get my information changed

Instead of updating your current record, we ask you to create a new account with your new department information, then email us at training@calhr.ca.gov with both account email information, we will then merge your accounts together.  

If a student cannot attend, can they send a substitution from the same department?

Yes if the class is within 5 business days. If the class is more than 5 business days out, please just cancel the non attending students registration, and register the new student. If a substitution is to be made, please email the Statewide Learning and Performance Management program at Training@calhr.ca.gov at least 1 business day before the start of the class. If a substitution requires a reasonable accommodation, and the request is made within three weeks, the Statewide Learning and Performance Management program will do everything it can to provide the accommodation.

Is the State Training Center still keeping wait lists?

Where is the my training history?

Unfortunately CalLearns can only provide your training history back to when the LMS was initiated (7/6/2020). ​Any history or certificates prior to this will need to be gathered from your departments Training/Personnel division.
