Q: Can I transfer my enrollment to a later course date?

​A: No. Registrations cannot be transferred from one course section to another. The employee can withdraw from the course and re-register for the later date if the course is more than 5 business days in the future. If the course is within 5 business days, they can only send another employee as a substitute for their spot in the course, or they will be charged for not attending the course.​


​Q: How do I substitute another employee for my training?

A: If a student cannot attend their registered training, they can send another employee from the same department as a substitute. Employee substitutions can be made only within 5 business days of the class start date, up until 1 business day prior to the class start date. If a substitution is within this period, you must email the CalHR Statewide training at Tra​ining@calhr.ca.gov​ at least 1 business day before the start of the class.

If the employee substitute requires a reasonable accommodation, please provide notice as soon as possible and CalHR Statewide Training will do everything it can to provide the accommodation.​
