This is done by their completing 80% of assessment questions at the end of each training eCourse prior to receiving a Procurement Card.
All Cardholders are also required to take an annual refresher course. You will be notified by Card Program Services when it’s time for you to take a refresher course or you may mark your calendar if you wish to be proactive in fulfilling this requirement.

Before a Procurement Card can be issued and activated, the prospective Cardholder must complete new cardholder training. You can access online training via the UC Learning Center (LMS).
