Now is the opportunity to take your career to the next level by completing the Fundamentals of Federal Student Aid Administration workshop. However, before you can complete the three-and-a-half day workshop, you will need to complete a prerequisite.

In a July 18 Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), the Department of Education said that successful completion of an online course titled "FSA Coach Fundamental 2019-20" is required before enrolling in the fundamentals course. To enroll in the prerequisite, go to the Federal Student Aid E-Training website. The online prerequisite course will be available on August 1, 2019.

The Department will conduct the workshops November 2019 through September 2020 at a Department of Education regional training facility or nearby location in several cities across the country. The workshop locations are included in the Q and A section of the DCL.
