Negotiators Certification Program

Preparing administrators for effective collective bargaining and positive employer-employee relations.

SEAC, serving school districts in employer- employee relations since 1975, offers the only
comprehensive negotiations training for school administrative leaders in California. CTA and CSEA offer extensive training for their negotiators; SEAC believes school administrators deserve the same opportunity.

The program is designed for new and experienced superintendents, human resources and labor relations leaders, chief business officers, members of management negotiation teams, and persons interested in gaining insight in employer-employee relations.

The program is presented in a series of graduate-level seminars. Participants acquire fundamental understanding of the EERA and the skills and competencies needed to represent school district interests effectively in collective bargaining and day-to-day employer-employee relations. In addition to covering legal requirements and practices, this program explores more collaborative approaches to negotiations and labor relations, focusing on strengthened communications, trust, transparency, and positive,
productive problem resolution.

Participants receive over fifty hours of instruction from experienced labor relations experts, leading to Certification as a Labor Relations Professional. SEAC offers two 2022-23 program options, identical in content, with varying schedules and presenters. Programs are in virtual format due to the continued uncertainties of the pandemic.
