• Advanced Self-Study. Did you already complete the basic AB 1234 training two years ago? Would you like to expand your knowledge by doing something new this time to comply with AB 1234? Or perhaps you took the Fair Political Practices Commission's online course or another course and need extra time to bring yourself up to the two-hour total requirement? The Institute offers AB 1234 advanced self-study credit in two, one-hour segments. Each one-hour exercise costs $25.
• Free Online Ethics Course. To help local officials meet their AB 1234 ethics training requirements, the Institute for Local Government and the Fair Political Practices Commission have developed a free online ethics training course. The course has been approved by the Attorney General's Office and Fair Political Practices Commission. (Note: the online training offered by the FPPC is a self-serve training program. No copies of the certificate will be retained by the FPPC's program, it's website or by the Institute for Local Government.)
• AB 1234 Requirements. What requirements does AB 1234 create regarding ethics training for local officials? See AB 1234 FAQs in pod at right.

Proceeds from self-study fees support the Institute's work in public service ethics.
