Comment #58 —With the change in instruction delivery due to COVID, will training providers <br />already listed on ETPL have to create new listings for on-line programs? <br />Resolution —Yes. Per Attachment 1, "If the program is offered with multiple modes of delivery, <br />curriculum, or course lengths, the program must be entered separately for each variation." <br />Please reference the definition of a Training Program in Attachment 2. <br />Comment #59 — Online training is really limited, particularly by providers outside of California. <br />There are many quality training programs that initiate and have headquarters outside of <br />California. The ETPL makes it difficult to find and access these providers. Additionally, online <br />courses (without physical operations) are not easily added which is a disincentive. <br />Resolution — Distance Education providers can be headquartered outside of CA, but they must <br />only offer distance education courses. If they only have physical training locations outside of <br />CA, then they are considered an out-of-state provider and cannot be on the CA ETPL; however, <br />an approved reciprocal agreement may be used. If they have physical locations in CA, but are <br />headquartered outside CA, they are still considered an in -state provider and can be on the <br />ETPL if they meet eligibility requirements. Per the Education Code Section 94801.5, Distance <br />Education private postsecondary education institutions must register with BPPE, unless they <br />provide undergraduate or graduate degrees. <br />Comment #60— What about providers that provide both distance and in -person programs? Or <br />programs that are hybrid partially distance and partially in -person? <br />Resolution — If the provider offers alternative or "hybrid" in -person and online programs, and <br />have a physical location in California, they are an in -state provider. If the program is offered <br />with multiple modes of delivery, different curriculum, and/or different course lengths, the <br />program must be entered separately for each variation. Please reference the definition of a <br />Training Program in Attachment 2. <br />Comment #61— CaIJOBS offers a screen for choosing "Duration" with options of more than <br />one intensity, duration and schedule. CaIJOBS also offers a "Scheduling" screen that could be <br />updated by GSI to allow a selection for in -person and/or distance learning if you want to track <br />it. Could these be used instead of creating separate program entries in CaIJOBS for a single <br />program that only has one listing with the accrediting agency, one curriculum, one cost and <br />one set of performance? Shouldn't CalJOBS listings match the exact titles and programs <br />approved by the accrediting agency? <br />Resolution — Programs with multiple modes of delivery, different lengths of instruction, and/or <br />different curriculum must be listed separately to comply with ETP Report requirements. <br />Program details should match the brochures available on the provider's website. <br />Comment #62 — Who is responsible for initial and continued eligibility for Distance Education <br />providers? <br />Resolution —The State ETPL Coordinator is responsible for the initial and continued eligibility <br />of Distance Education providers. <br />EEO <br />Page 13 of 25 <br />
