Most of the online courses on the FSA Training Center are specific to an award year. This allows you to complete training each award year to keep your understanding of the topics current. Your Record of Learning and Certificates of Completion reflect your completion of the training for each award year.
We will be removing training courses specific to the 2025–26 award year on July 2 and replacing them with courses for the 2026–27 award year on July 3. What does this mean for you?
- If you are in the middle of FSA Basic Training for New Staff or any one of the Learning Tracks, please finish your work by July 2. Alternatively, you can choose to not complete the 2025–26 training and instead wait for the release of the 2026–27 training. We update our content each year to incorporate new guidance and refresh the learning activities!
- If you are enrolled in the FSA Fundamentals Training Series, you have a couple of options.
- You can complete the 2025–26 FSA Fundamentals Online course by July 2. We will allow you to enroll in a 2026–27 FSA Fundamentals Virtual Workshop in the upcoming cycle with the completion of the previous year’s online course. Dates for these instructor-led workshop for the next year will be announced after July 1.
- Alternatively, if you will not be able to complete the 2025–26 online course by July 2, you can stop work now and instead wait until July 3 to start again with the newly released 2026–27 FSA Fundamentals Online course.
We do not have the ability to carry over completion progress from one year’s course to another. You will be required to start 2026–27 courses from the beginning.
If you have any questions about your own training situation and completion of courses, please send an email to helpdesk.fsatraining@ed.gov so we can advise you.
