Frontline court and probation department supervisors, or new supervisors and managers in the court system are eligible to participate in the Arizona Court Supervisor program. Participants must currently be a judicial branch employee.

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. When classes are full, priority is given to persons who are currently serving in a supervisory position over those who are aspiring to become supervisors.

At this time there is no cost to attend these classes. Classes are held at the Judicial Education Center in Phoenix and travel costs are borne by the participant or their court. Participants will be issued a user license by the Education Services Division to access online classes.
