Exemptions to the NCB process

PLEASE NOTE: CalPCA imposes a penalty of $100 per session against an agency for each employee who enrolls in the workshop and does not appear. We urge that your agency send a substitute student when the enrolled student cannot attend, to avoid the penalty.

LATE IS LATE !
We train state procurement specialists, whose working lives are deadline-driven and time-sensitive. The workshop begins promptly at 9:00 am, at which time the door is closed and vacant seats are made available to "walk-in" students.! We strongly recommend that students plan ahead and leave their homes/hotels early, to arrive AHEAD OF TIME to claim their seats.

Doing our part to green California, CalPCA will provide electronic classroom reference materials. At the end of class, the student may either save the materials to a USB flash drive (not provided) or email to their own work Email address, for easy access back at the office.

Please contact calpcahelp@dgs.ca.gov or (916) 375-4628 with questions or comments.
