Student Training Application

Training Authorization Letter

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.

Do not forget to send in your County application as well.

Course Rosters & Schedules

NOTE: Rosters are added as student registrations are compiled for the particular class. We will try and update the Rosters every Thursday as registrations are received, as a course is full, or as the registration deadline has passed. Applicants do not immediately show up on rosters. It may take a week to be added to the roster.

Class schedules, agendas, and prerequisites are also found here. Refresh each page to see most current files.
