*We are aware that many State employees have taken the WRIPAC class over the years, some as recently as October or November 2007.  We do not want to disadvantage you, or incur additional expense for your departments, by requiring you to take SPB's new Job Analysis class if you want to earn SPB's SATP certificate.  Therefore, if you took the WRIPAC class before or during November 2007, then we can credit the WRIPAC class towards completion of your SATP.
