Continuing Education

Gambling managers are required to complete at least one continuing education class conducted by the Board each calendar year.

Continuing education classes are conducted online and at locations throughout the state. For traditional in-person classes, specific dates and times are listed below. Classes typically last about 90 minutes. Both online courses and traditional classes are free and open to the public.

If you are planning to attend a class in person and need special accommodations due to a disability, please call 651-539-1900 two weeks in advance.

To take a class, click on one of the links below. If you haven’t taken an online class previously, you will need to register by entering your full name, an email address, and a password. The address that you provide will be used to send an email confirming that you have received continuing education credit for the class. If you’ve previously taken an online class, enter your email address and password. If you’ve forgotten your password, you can ask that a new temporary password be emailed to you.
