CORTC Training
PCSA staff, caregivers, and assessors should log into CAPS LMS to view and enroll in CORTC training. Anyone who does not have access to the CAPS LMS should review PDF versions of CORTC training calendars linked below and use the appropriate guest registration process detailed below.
Internal guests are county staff employed at a PCSA, JFS, or CSEA with a State of Ohio User ID (SOUID) that do not have a child/adult protective services role. These guests will contact their RTC directly to request access. Internal guests do not complete the guest registration form below.
External guests include but are not limited to retired staff, law enforcement, teachers, court-appointed special advocates, mental health professionals, and court staff such as public defenders and prosecutors. External guests will not be provisioned access to the CAPS LMS but will be added to the requested instructor-led session on a space-available basis. External guests must complete the guest registration form below to request access to training. You will need the session locator # listed on the training calendars linked below to complete the form.
