About the Ohio Public Treasurers
Training Programs

For nearly three decades the Ohio Association of Public Treasurers has been sponsoring workshops to advance knowledge of the most current practices in the profession.

Following a program developed by the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada (APT/US&C), these workshops are designed to provide professional development and skills training for those in local government finance in Ohio. The three year program leads to the award of the designation as a Certified Public Finance Administrator (CPFA).

This is a program that provides both skill development and content-specific education. The program has two components; the five-day workshop for those just starting, or who are part
way through the certificate training and the two day "maintenance" program for those who have a certificate, but who wish to gain more current knowledge in the field of public finance and/or who
wish to make use of the continuing education credits available to them from the workshops to maintain their various certifications.

In addition, credits toward the State Treasurer’s Office CPIM program are available based upon specific workshops offered during the three year cycle of training and continuing education credit is available for all participants
