Upon request of the Education Committee of the Association of Mayor's Court Clerks of Ohio, Kent State University's Center for Public Administration and Public Policy has collaborated with the association to develop a training program that will lead to certification of mayor's court clerks. The biennial program will help you meet goals related to professional development, skill building, management and legal issues. Criteria for certification include participation in professional activities and the satisfactory completion of this training program.

This professional development program will provide participants with 18 contact hours of training or 1.8 CEU's awarded through Kent State University's College Of Continuing Studies. Because the program is designed for mayor's court clerks' certification, attendance at all sessions is required for anyone wishing to work toward certification.

A wide variety of professionals from universities, the public sector, and private consulting and law firms will provide instruction in their specialized areas of expertise.

Credits and Costs (2008): The programs offered 18 points toward certification from the Association of Mayor's Court Clerks of Ohio and 1.8 Continuing Education Units (CEU's). The cost for members of the Association of Mayor's Court Clerks of Ohio was $320; non-members, $370. Included in the non-member cost are one year's dues of $50 for the Association of Mayor's Court Clerks of Ohio. Included in the program's cost were instruction, materials, breakfast, coffee breaks, afternoon refreshments, luncheon on Wednesday and Thursday and banquet on Thursday night.
