  • Yes. If you (or your employee) need a training requirement removed from a position, this is possible. Training requirements are tied to job position numbers, not individual employees. When an employee fills a vacant position, the employee will be required to complete the training(s) associated with that job position number. Training requirements can be removed from job positions only if the job duties within the position have changed, no longer requiring specific trainings.

    To add or remove a training requirement from a job position number, please complete the SAP Training Request Form and email to ehsrem@txstate.edu for approval. For further clarification on the process please review the documents below.
