Telecourses are eligible for Continuing Professional Training (CPT) credits if facilitated by a POST-certified Telecourse Presenter. Certified presenters of POST Advanced Officer courses and Skills and Knowledge Modular training courses may use Telecourses as part of their training programs.

To determine if your agency is eligible for Telecourse training and is registered as a POST-certified Telecourse Presenter, view the Certified Telecourse Presenter List (pdf). Only agencies in the California POST Program are eligible for this certification. If your agency is not listed as a POST-certified Telecourse Presenter, contact the POST Training Delivery Bureau at 916.227.4866 for an application packet.

Agencies using Telecourses for CPT credit must abide by POST Telecourse Certification Conditions (pdf).

POST-certified Telecourse Presenters should document all Telecourse attendance on the POST Course Roster (POST 2-111) (pdf), and note the Course Control Number (section A). Course Rosters for Telecourse viewing are submitted quarterly.

Law enforcement agencies in the POST Program and POST-certified Telecourse Presenters are authorized to duplicate Telecourse VHS videotapes, printed Reference Guides, or CD-ROM Reference Guides for training purposes. Telecourse DVDs are copy-protected and cannot be duplicated; additional DVDs may be ordered by completing the CPTN Program Order Form (pdf).

Contact your local law enforcement agency training office for information on proper Telecourse facilitation, or contact the POST Training Delivery Bureau at 916.227.4866.
