NOTE: The BETST is authorized, but only from funds appropriated by the Legislature, to reimburse all expenses associated with the successful completion of approved training. Reimbursement is authorized only for those agencies and subdivisions of the state that are in compliance with all provisions of the law to include policies and procedures established by the BETST. Reimbursement for elective training shall consist of all of the same expenses as initial certification. Reimbursement requests are on a first-come first-served basis, which shall be determined by the date of request. Training over 150 miles distance from the agency requires prior written approval from BETST for reimbursement of all eligible expenses. A justifiable written explanation must be provided for approval to be considered. Itemized meal receipts (date and time stamped) are required for reimbursement, not to exceed state daily rate. Mileage reimbursement – 1 vehicle up to 4 students. Hotel expenses are not eligible for reimbursement. Reimbursement requests should be submitted immediately upon completion of course/requirements.
If an agency has telecommunicators that are in need of initial certification training or elective training and wants to host the training, notify the contacts of the courses needed.
