P-Card
P-Card training is mandatory and consists of two modules. Not all cardholders will need both modules. P-Card refresher training is mandatory for cardholders every two years. Contact the P-Card coordinator if you have questions about which training you need to attend.
This training is held in the procurement offices.
Procedures
New cardholders will be issued their card at the conclusion of this training only if the applicant has a photo ID for verification and identification. In addition, department heads must receive this training before cards can be issued to department personnel or within 30 days upon assuming new department head duties where cards already exist within a department.
If you do not have a P-Card but are interested, a training session is a good way to gain a full understanding of procedural requirements.
Property
Human Resources assigns property training when hired. Employees may also self-register by following the myTraining instructions on this page.
Property training is offered online and is required for all SFA employees within 60 days of employment. If a property custodian is not an employee, training will also be required.
Employees must receive a score of 80 or higher to complete a training module.
