Coastal Training Program
The Coastal Training Program (CTP) aims to provide science-based training to coastal decision-makers and to increase collaborative networking opportunities within the coastal area. By offering scientific information and skill-building training sessions, the CTP ensures that coastal decision-makers have the knowledge and tools they need to address resource management issues concerning local communities.
**NEW** The ACE Basin CTP is now an approved program provider for the SC Planning Education Advisory Committee. South Carolina Code requires the formation of a State Advisory Committee on Educational Requirements for Local Government Planning or Zoning Officials and Employees. Unless expressly exempted, every locally appointed official and professional employee must attend a minimum of six hours of orientation training and annually attend no fewer than three hours of continuing education. By being an approved program provider we can now offer continuing education credits for planning commission and zoning board of appeals members, as well as planning staff for counties and municipalities.
