How to make an External Training Credit Request

The Illinois Judicial College Committee on Probation Education will now be taking external training credit requests through the following Google Form:  https://forms.gle/JryCNmM6ahfQcMz58 

Please keep in mind that if you are not able to answer all the questions and check at least one core competency from at least one target audience, the course will not be given consideration for external training credit. 

Please also note, the linked COPE Core Competencies were updated in 2023 to incorporate competencies specific to our target audiences.  We thank each of the target audience workgroups who spent a lot of time and energy on developing these competencies.
