Learning about verification at your own pace

Learning about financial aid verification can get very overwhelming very quickly, and that should make the Department of Education's new self-paced verification training course very appealing.

In the January 6 Dear Colleague Letter ANN-21-01, the Department announced the availability of an online, self-paced training course to assist financial aid administrators in completing verification for the 2021-22 Award Year. This training course consists of two lessons, Verification and Professional Judgment, as well as a Learning Assessment to test knowledge gained from the lessons.

According to the Department, financial aid professionals can access the training by logging in to Federal Student Aid E-Training. For those who don't have an account, the site has a link to create a new account in order to access the training. Questions about this training opportunity can be sent to coursehelp.fsatraining@ed.gov.
