Who Is OCA?
 

History

American Correctional Association (ACA)

Founded in 1870, the American Correctional Association (ACA) is the oldest and largest correctional association in the world. ACA serves all disciplines within corrections and is dedicated to excellence in every aspect of the field. Our diverse committees, chapters, and affiliates provide unique professional and regional insights.

ACA's training programs have received praise from correctional professionals and agencies nationwide, as well as many professional awards.

We rely on our extensive correctional and training experience to help agencies assess their training needs and identify a quality, cost-effective solution to training staff.

Online Corrections Academy (OCA)

Corrections professionals who responded to a survey conducted by the American Correctional Association and the National Institute of Justice, identified online training as a high priority. Based on the survey results, the Association developed the Online Corrections Academy to provide e-learning solutions for the corrections community. 

OCA developed a partnership with Essential Learning in 2009 and, through its expansion, has become the leader in online training solutions for the corrections community. Agencies can provide quality, cost-effective training to staff at all levels and disciplines that meets legislative, training, ACA accreditation, professional licensing and ACA re-certification requirements.

Mission

The mission of the Academy is to establish excellence in online training for adult and juvenile correctional staff at all levels and disciplines. The Academy accomplishes this mission by providing:

  • Complete e-learning solutions for individuals and agencies/facilities
  • Quality training that satisfies legislative, training and organizational accreditation requirements
  • Up-to-date course content
  • Rapid course development on emerging topics within the field
  • Maintaining a team of authors who have extensive correctional experience and who meet rigorous selection requirements
