How do I request training be delivered at my location?

To schedule a training NDPTC requests that the hosting agency (agency requesting the course) provide a location for the course delivery, assist with filling the course delivery to meet our 25 participant minimum and to assist with the outreach of the course .

Allow at least 6 weeks for coordination of a course delivery. We are, in most cases, unable to accommodate requests that are within six weeks of the proposed delivery date Please complete a Training Request Form online or submit the downloadable PDF provided below State Administrative Agency (SAA) Training POC approval must be received prior to scheduling of the course delivery. Training scheduling processes vary by state. Most NDPTC courses have a minimum participant requirement of 25 participants. If the number of participants does not meet the required minimum at three weeks prior to the delivery, we may, after discussion with the hosting agency, postpone or cancel the course delivery. NDPTC's preference is to schedule at least two course deliveries in an area within the time that we are in the general area. For select courses, the course location must be/ have internet access capabilities available to each participant, as all participants may need to access the internet simultaneously throughout the course.

Additionally NDPTC requests that hosting agencies be willing and able to:

1. Provide a venue for the course training.
2. Ensuring approval of the training from the State Administrative Agency (SAA) / State Training Point of Contact (SAA TPOC)
3. Ensuring that the course delivery meets minimum participant requirements by agreed upon date. NDPTC will provide course delivery flyer(s) and can assist with outreach to a limited extent.
4. Ensure that there is a point of contact for NDPTC instructors regarding scheduling an appointment to access the training facility the day before and the day of the course for setup. You can contact us directly at ndptc-trainings@lists.hawaii.edu to request our Training Request form or you can create an account and submit online Training Request by clicking here

Can anyone sign up for training? I am a concerned citizen and do not have access to the SAA, can I still attend training?
