KATP PROGRAM REGISTRATION GUIDELINES 

The following registration guidelines must be maintained in order to properly administer the KATP program and allow for its continued operation. 

  • Courses are offered provided that the minimum number of course applicants have registered for each class. Registrants will be contacted if classes are cancelled.
  • Registration Form must be filled out completely. 
  • Registration and payment for program applicants must be received before admittance to the course. KYTC will be billed for all state employees. 
  • Cancellations must be made at least 3 business days prior to class date for refunds.  Substitutions can always be made if needed.
  • Registrations will be placed in classes based on availability. All applications are time/date stamped and classes are filled as they are received. Preferences of applicants may not be available. Apply early if a particular course/location is needed. 
  • Applicants will be contacted immediately if their prefered class is not available.  Final confirmation with driving directions, lodging information, etc. will be sent approximately 2 weeks prior to the class date. 
  • Course manuals will be mailed to requalification exam registrants only. Other courses will have manuals presented at the class by the instructors. An on-line version is posted to the KCSA website (www.kycsa.org) for prior examination. 
  • Exams will be graded within 2 weeks of the test date.  Registrants will only be notified if they failed the exam, with options for retesting.
