COCTP Training Information
The County Officials Certificate Training Program (COCTP) is a nationally recognized training program for Tennessee county office holders and their staff. The COCTP is designed to provide specialized office-specific, technical, administrative and managerial training to all county government employees. The main objective of the COCTP is to help county officials run their office more effectively as well as provide a more comprehensive knowledge of the inner workings and functions of county government.
In 1989, The Tennessee General Assembly officially recognized the COCTP and provided that county officeholders and employees who complete the program would be designated by The University of Tennessee as Certified Public Administrators. This legislation is codified in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 5-1-301 et.seq. Furthermore, Public Chapter 941, Acts of 1998 authorizes an incentive pay to full-time county officers enumerated in Tennessee Code Annotated 8-24-102, who achieve the designation of Certified Public Administrators.
