Frequently Asked Questions about the Technical Training Program (TTP)

What is the Technical Training Program (TTP)?

The Technical Training Program (TTP) has been developed by the Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision (BPSS) to assist school directors in developing an understanding of compliance with Education Law and the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education.  In addition, it clearly defines the relationship between the Bureau's regulatory authority and the licensed proprietary school community that it oversees.   The TTP fosters a better understanding of Bureau staff responsibilities and, in turn, presents the director with what is expected of any individual holding that position in fulfilling the mandates under Education Law.  Current events within the industry are discussed and the interaction between Bureau staff and a variety of school directors provide a cordial and informative session that benefits all attendees.

When and Where Is the TTP Conducted?

The TTP is conducted at the New York City office of BPSS at 116 West 32nd Street, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10001, (212) 643-4760.  It is usually held the last Wednesday of every other month from 8:45 a.m. to approximately 12:30 p.m.  The maximum number of participants at a given session is usually 20.

Who May Attend the TTP?
