WELCOME to COAT!!
The training modules on this site are designed for staff in the U.S. District Courts. The course catalog contains 13 courses covering a wide range of IT related topics. The courses are divided into separate training tracks for Appellate, District, and Bankruptcy staff and then further divided into lessons designed specifically for either Word or WordPerfect users. In these courses you will learn to be more efficient in CM/ECF, Adobe Acrobat, Word or WordPerfect, and more.
If you complete all 13 courses in a specific track, a certificate is available that may be used for CLE credit (see the link below for states with approved CLE status). The time required to complete all courses is approximately 5 1/2 hours. Your lesson completion status is saved between sessions, so you can stop at anytime and return later to pick up where you left off. Click here for more information about receiving a certificate of completion.
