We currently have our class sizes set to 400 employees - that's the most our Webex remote video conferencing technology can accommodate without sacrificing video and audio quality.  

If when enrolling, no sessions appears - classes are full.  

Please note that class capacity is limited for these open CETC sessions - as such, enrollment is on a first come, first serve basis.

Agency Ethics Officers (or their designees) are expected to be your primary source for live ethics training.  They should be holding ethics courses periodically on an ongoing basis.  Please check with your Ethics Officer or training department for course availability at your workplace.

Executive Law section 94 expanded the live ethics training requirement to the entire State workforce. Due to the increased number of people who now require live training, course availability is expected to be very limited.

These sessions are open to employees from any state agency.

The CETC is the only course that satisfies the live ethics training requirement mandated in Executive Law § 94. The CETC is a live, instructor-led training that covers the Public Officers Law and other related ethics laws and regulations.

To receive credit:

Ethics Training is for Everyone...

All New York State officers and employees are required to attend ethics training every year. 

The Training Team at the Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government (‘COELIG’) offers live, remote trainings via WebEx every month:

1. Open CETC sessions – these sessions are open to all officers and employees across New York State.

2. Agency Specific CETC Sessions – these sessions are reserved by agency Ethics Officers and/or Agency Trainers requesting COELIG Trainers deliver live training to a large population of their agency employees.

Training is provided via WebEx. Participants do not need a camera or microphone to attend. Participants are required to connect individually and not in a group setting.  All participants must be able to view the presentation. Participation and attendance is tracked utilizing a combination of WebEx polling features and chat participation. 

Please note: COELIG does not offer Continuing Legal Education (CLE), Continuing Professional Education (CPE) or Professional Development Hours (PDH) credit for the live CETC.

Confirming your attendance will take 7-10 business days from the date you attended a live CETC with COELIG.  

Additional Information: 

• Employees who attend and successfully complete a live CETC class with COELIG will receive a system-generated notice of completion for sessions beginning on September 9, 2024.  
• The confirmation email is the certificate of completion – no other ‘certificate’ will be provided.
• The certificate is automatically sent to the email address you provide when using our Class Registration/Self-Enrollment Portal.
• Emails are not sent to the agency Ethics Officer, Training Compliance Officer or Agency Contact listed in the Agency Profile in SETA.
