Citywide Online Learning Opportunities
DCAS Citywide Learning & Development
GUIDE OVERVIEW
Online courses and programs at the DCAS Citywide Training Center (CTC) are designed
to help New York City employees continue to focus on their professional and personal
development while the City responds to the current COVID-19 health crisis. This catalog
makes it easier to nd available on-demand and mandatory online learning opportunities.
Through our online catalog, New York City employees can:
• View course/program descriptions and offerings
• Access the course registration information and process
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ON-SITE AND ONLINE COURSES
Many of the things that make you successful in an online training program or class are the
same things that make you successful in a traditional on-site class: participate and ask
questions, listen, remain focused throughout the session, and complete course assignments.
Online training is no longer the “new thing” in learning and development; it has been a
learning and development tool since the late 1990s. To participate in online training, be
sure to check that your computer and internet connection are working properly before the
session begins.
HOW TO REGISTER FOR CITYWIDE ONLINE TRAINING
The CTC has simplied the registration process for our online courses and programs to let
agencies adjust to disruptions in the established protocols due to the NYS Pause Order. You
may apply or register for free or fee-based online courses offered by the Citywide L&D by
