Welcome to CORTC!

Central Ohio

The Central Ohio Regional Training Center (CORTC) is housed at Franklin County Children Services Board: 855 W. Mound St. Columbus, OH 43223.

Part of the Ohio Child Welfare Training Program, the CORTC is committed to providing high quality, responsive, family-centered, job-related training for child welfare staff and caregivers in the region’s thirteen counties: Crawford, Richland, Marion, Morrow, Knox, Union, Delaware, Licking, Franklin, Madison, Fairfield, Pickaway, and Fayette.

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.

Guest learners include but are not limited to PCSA, county DJFS, or CSEA staff who do not have a child/adult protective services role; retired PCSA staff; law enforcement; teachers; court-appointed special advocates; mental health professionals; and court staff (e.g., public defenders and prosecutors). Guest learners will not be provisioned access to CAPS LMS but will be added to the requested instructor-led session on a space-available basis. Guest learners must complete the OCWTP Guest Registration Form linked below to request access to training. Registrants will need the CAPS LMS session locator # listed on the training calendars linked below to complete the form.
