Training Authorization Letters are REQUIRED for all courses. A student will NOT be enrolled in any course UNTIL a valid TAL is on file PRIOR to the first day of class. Any student who arrives at class without a valid TAL on file in the state system will be turned away. Priority for class enrollment will be given to those individuals who complete the course application and have a valid TAL on file. Please scan and email a valid Training Authorization Letter with the NYS course number listed to TAL@Erie.gov once you have applied to a course.
For a "County" run course, there will be a County TAL for the student to submit to TAL@Erie.gov
Every class has a TAL pre-filled out with the class number below. Please use the TAL for the class you are enrolling in.
