Mandatory Comprehensive Ethics Training Course (CETC) for Full-Time Employees

The New York State Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government (COELIG) has mandated periodic training for all employees. The Comprehensive Ethics Training Course (CETC) is a two-hour live instructor-led training for all employees.

NOTE:  Please remember that the Comprehensive Ethics Training Course (CETC), whether you take it with Baruch College or with COELIG, will provide you with the same foundational information; thus, please register for only one of the sessions (with either Baruch or COELIG).

NOTE: This training is approximately 2 hours. Since you must be actively present to earn a completion certificate, you will be asked to turn on your cameras for the duration of this training. Do note that we will not be able to award completion certificates to attendees who arrive after introductory items have been completed or who leave prior to the end of the presentation.
