NEW!!! The National Institute of Corrections schedule of classroom training for FY2011 (October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011) is NOW AVAILABLE for online registration. Go to Training Catalog to see a list of available programs. You can filter by the fiscal year or by correctional discipline by clicking on the filter button and choosing from the dropdown box.
Please check out five (5) new online courses available in the Learning Center. These courses are available in "Online Training Courses" section of the Training Catalog and were specifically designed by NIC for correctional leaders/managers.
- Objective Jail Classification: Assessing Inmate Risks and Needs provides participants with concepts and procedures that will help them implement a classification process based on objective criteria.

Reminder! Applicants for NIC's classroom-based training programs are required to apply online via the NIC Learning Center! Browse the training catalog for available programs.
- If you find a program, first review the course description and eligibility requirements to determine whether you are eligible. Before you can apply for classroom (in-person) training, you will have to register in the Learning Center. See the "New Users Register" page. Completing the user profile replaces the paper applications NIC previously required.
- After registering, return to the catalog page and click on the program title. A page will appear with an Enroll button on it. Click the enroll button and you will be considered for the program. You will receive an e-mail confirming receipt of your application.
- NOTE that NIC has waived the previous requirement of a CEO endorsement for classroom training applications; however, applicants are asked to offer an assurance that their supervisor is aware of, and supports, their application.
