Welcome to TFAP!
Federal Student Aid's Training for Financial Aid Professionals (TFAP) website contains information on our current and future training activities and learning resources.
To help you choose training that's tailored to your needs, we've identified the experience level and functional role appropriate for each series. If you're in the first two years on the job (or just want a "refresher"), see our listings for New Financial Aid Professionals. If you need training on a specific financial aid system or in a specialized area of financial aid administration, check out courses in Training for Specific Functions.
Going to training at one of our regional offices? Check our directions and other helpful information for FSA Regional Training Facilities. If you take training remotely via your computer, we provide materials that you can download.
