How To Request Special Class Times for Your Agency   

If your agency wishes to schedule any of the classes below on a special basis, please contact Dwuena Wyre at 225-342-8084. Due to our commitment to provide, through the regular CPTP schedule, a sufficient number of classes to meet the mandatory training requirements, our ability to schedule special agency classes is very limited. 

If you have an urgent need to place your agency supervisors / managers in certain classes, we suggest that you contact Sam Breen, CPTP Administrator, to see if it is possible for CPTP to reserve slots for your agency in each scheduled class.

For PPR training needs, you may wish to consider having someone in your agency certified to teach PPR especially for your agency supervisors / managers.  Through this process, many agencies have been able to provide training to new or recently promoted supervisors quickly enough to ensure an effective use of the PPR system.   Please contact Dwuena Wyre at 225-342-8084 or e-mail at dwuena.wyre@la.gov, if you are interested in more information about our PPR Trainer Certification.
