Continuing Education
Welcome to the Continuing Education section. This area provides training resources, learning opportunities, and professional development tools to support county treasurers in maintaining knowledge, strengthening skills, and staying current with evolving policies and best practices.
The Ohio Revised Code requires that treasurers get 24 hours of credit every biennium cycle, 12 each from the Treasurer of State (through the Center for Public Investment Management (CPIM)) and the Auditor of State. Newly elected treasurers must take 13 hours of CPIM and 13 hours of AOS credit after they are elected and prior to taking office in September. Appointed treasurers must complete these hours within their first four months in office. Certain courses must be complete in order for the county treasurer to have full investment authority beyond low- or no-interest funds and STAR Ohio. See Summary below.
NEWLY-ELECTED TREASURERS
Newly elected county treasurers must complete 13 hours of education in investments and cash management before taking office in September. Appointed treasurers must complete these hours within their first four months in office.
