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

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.
