2. To pay by credit card:
   
   1. Call the Institute for Labor Studies (463-9900) and provide them with your credit card information. Be sure to tell them which course you are paying for. The Institute will then notify the Office of Training and Development that you have paid for the course.

6. The courses listed on the following pages of this catalogue are designed for and offered to employees of the State of Rhode Island.

Incentive Credit:
For state employees interested in incentive credit, all rules regarding each employee’s eligibility will apply. For example, the course must be directly related to the employee’s job duties, and be the appropriate level for those duties. CS365 forms requesting incentive approval must be received by OTD seven (7) days prior to the start of the course. Each course must be at least fifteen (15) hours. If you do not receive verification from OTD that your incentive credit request has been approved, it is your responsibility to check the status of your request, and insure that OTD receives it.

See each course description for location.
