Registration Forms
Registration for State Employees
Only training coordinators may register state employees (employees of state agencies, universities, colleges, etc.) for classes, including the one- & two-day workshops and the 16-week Wake Tech. curriculum courses. Employees should complete a Registration Form and forward it to his or her department's training coordinator. The training coordinator relays the information and paperwork to our office at the State Personnel Development Center. We are not allowed to take registrations over the phone from state employees. If you are a state employee and wish to pay for your own course, follow the registration guidelines for the general public.
For a list of training coordinators for state agencies, universities, or licensing boards, visit http://www.osp.state.nc.us/rtablecomm/pspitc.htm. |
Phone numbers are necessary for registration.
All
phone numbers should be included on registration forms. Many winters
and summers, classes become cancelled due to adverse weather, but we
can not contact a number of class participants about the cancellations
because their forms are not filled out completely.
A Note About The Social Security Field
In the past we could not register you for class unless you had your full Social Security Number filled out on your form. We are now able to accept the last 4 digits only. This satisfies the recordkeeping process and doesn't compromise your information. If you would rather have Wake Technical Community College issue you a standard Student ID number, please contact the registration office at 919-733-8338. However, if you choose to obtain a Student ID, you must use this full number when filling out the form for any Wake Tech. courses.
Payment Options
Payment is requested at the time of registration. With proper authorizations, state government departments may be invoiced. Call our office at (919) 733-8338 for more information about invoicing guidelines for your department, or check with your training coordinator.
Checks
If paying by check, make it payable to "The Office of State Personnel" in the amount indicated per course.
Invoices
Training coordinators: Please make sure your employees included proper authorizations, budget codes, and purchase order numbers on their registration forms. Departments/participants will be notified ONLY if there is a problem with the registration request. Please retain a copy of completed registration information.

Refund & Substitution Policies
Short Courses (1- & 2-Day Courses): You may cancel your registration for a one- or two-day course up to 10 business days before the course begins, and your registration fee will be refunded less a $15.00 administrative fee. If you need to cancel less than 10 business days prior to the course start date, you may send a substitute person in your place--you will not receive a refund because your registration was counted in the final decision to run the course or cancel it.
Late policy: If you are 30 minutes late to any class, you will not be admitted. No refund.
Curriculum Courses (16-week & Distance Learning): Departmental substitutions, cancellations, and refunds will be honored by the the Professional Skills Program manager if notified, in writing by mail or email, two (2) weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. Anyone registering after this two-week deadline is eligible for a refund ONLY when a substitute can be made for his/her seat. Substitutions and late registrations will be accepted up to the first day of class where openings are available.
