Thank you for choosing DES training and development classes to meet your training needs! Public service employees in Washington state are eligible to register for classes as approved by their agency or organization. How you register for a class depends on your agency or organization type.

State Agencies

Agency employees can self-register for a class through the Washington State Learning Center. Learning Center platform User Guides & Resources can help learners navigate the Learning Center. If it is not clear that an agency allows self-registration, or if you have other questions, please check with the agency training manager or human resources team.

Cancellations

If the learner is unable to attend a class, they should contact the agency's training manager. Agencies will be billed for a registered learner unless cancellations are made on or before the cancel dates. Employers will be billed for no-shows for all DES classes.

Substitutions

Agencies may substitute learners any time before the start of the class. Please contact the agency training manager or email traininginfo@des.wa.gov if making a substitution.

Employers will be billed approximately two weeks after the class is completed. For billing questions please contact traininginfo@des.wa.gov.
