Come see why over 1500 participants and over 800 graduates choose this Certification - the premier training in tribal regulation. A three-part certification designed by Tribal Gaming Regulators who also teach the courses with plenty of real-life scenarios and hands-on activities.

Former participants praise the training for:
		the informative, experienced speakers
		the useful, hands-on examples and situations
		the comprehensive handout materials that are yours to take home
		the networking opportunities with regulators from across the country
		the Fun! Making new friends and visiting other tribal casinos.

It is helpful for:
		New Regulatory staff “Thanks for all the pro’s who shared their experience with us. Reality helps.” “Offered direction and guidance to a new commissioner” “Thank you for providing quality people to instruct - the moderators were very thorough and informative for new regulators”
		Experienced Tribal Gaming Regulators “Sample materials from other casinos and the networking from across the nation gave us a lot of new ideas to implement in our commission” “I have a better idea of where we are lacking and how to improve. It feels great to be among professional commissioners and regulators.” “A very helpful refresher seminar - reinforced what I knew and what I needed to brush up on.”
		Tribal Leaders “This is great information for our Council members to also hear as far as what our jobs are and what we’re trying to do to protect assets.”
		Tribal Attorneys “Very informative on the commission’s role. Our Tribal Council and Tribal Attorney should take this training for a good background.”
		Economic Development/Gaming Boards “I came to understand the workings and regulations that our commission has to follow so I know where they are coming from and we can work better together.” “I got a complete understanding of Indian gaming and other tribes’ facilities and the ability to see other tribes’ casinos at work.”
