The Certified Public Records Training is a three-hour session, free of charge, provided to public officials or their appropriate designees and public employees, as well as members of the public.
Note: Certified Public Records Training offered by the Auditor of State is the same training offered by the Ohio Attorney General’s office, which is called Sunshine Laws Training.
