CA Leave Accounting System (CLAS) Training and Enrollment Process

The California Leave Accounting System (CLAS) training is a "hands-on" program that covers the fundamentals of CLAS and is recommended for all new CLAS users.

Trainees will access the CLAS Training Database and through the use of various exercises, will learn how to access, navigate through, and update the CLAS.

Security

At the time of enrollment, please ensure a Security Authorization form (PSD125a) is completed for each enrollee to ensure they have CLAS access for the training.

CLAS Enrollment and Registration

Training Coordinators can register their students online at our Training Registration page.

Training Enrollment is processed on a first come, first served basis. Please verify that student email addresses provided during the enrollment process are up to date to ensure the accurate distribution of confirmation emails.

Be sure to verify that the student enrolls in a prerequisite class date that occurs prior to the advanced class date. Prerequisites ensure that each Personnel Specialist succeeds in comprehending the subject matter offered in the class. Personnel Specialists who lack the required experience may have difficulty with the material and detract from the class. Therefore, if a Personnel Specialist is unable to maintain the pace of the session, the instructor may request that he/she returns to his/her department.

Confirmation of Registration

Upon completion of enrollment, the student will receive an automated confirmation of their registration.  One week prior to the class date, the student will receive an email confirming the student's registration.  This letter contains important registration information about the dates, duration, times, and prerequisites for the class.

Training Vacancy Process

The online registration system contains the most current information. To view available classes and enroll your students please visit our Training Registration webpage frequently.
