As an employee, you must be paid for all time that you work, since work time is compensable. And the mandatory classes that you describe would qualify. Additionally, if you have to travel to take these classes offsite, your travel time must be paid as well. The only time such training would not be compensable is if: attendance is voluntary; the training takes place outside of regular work hours; the training is not job-related; and you do not perform any work during the training.
