The Corrections Training Academy (CTA) upholds the CDOC mission statement of, “Building a safe Colorado for today and tomorrow” by ensuring that new employees receive a solid foundation for their careers in corrections. Completion of Basic Training (BT) is a condition of employment.
BT curriculum runs for 14 continuous weekdays (excluding holidays) at your assigned facility. You will be provided a training schedule on Day 1. Roll call will begin promptly at 8 a.m., and class will end at approximately 5 p.m. All interactive courses will be taught by the Training Academy staff via remote computer—live! This will allow for real-time engagements with hands-on assignments after lessons.
