By law, local elected officials must complete the training within 12 months of the date of their election or appointment, and then again within 12 months of their re-election or re-appointment.  The training requirement is triggered each time the official is re-elected or reappointed to office. 

For example, if you were elected or re-elected in November of LAST year, you must complete the ethics training by November of THIS year.  If you were appointed at any time, you must complete the training within 12 months of the date of your appointment.
