Professional Development
Training and professional development opportunities at MSU Billings!
Defensive Driving Course
Our automobile program requires that a minimum of 5% of MSUB staff take a defensive driving course. Our approach is to have staff that drive university vehicles take the course. However, all employees are welcome to enroll. The State offers a free 2-hour training class at the RMTD website. Taking this training also counts towards professional development. To track the completion of training on our campus, please save/print the electronic certificate and email it to jesse.horner2@msubillings.edu.
