The Selection Analyst Training Program consists of a series of classes required to achieve a Certified Selection Analyst designation. Classes can be completed in any order; however, maximum benefits will be obtained by taking them in the suggested order. In particular we recommend completing the first four before taking the remaining classes. Students will need to complete all required classes to receive the Certified Selection Analyst designation.

*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.
