Introduction

Well-designed and well-constructed buildings don't just manufacture themselves. Buildings are a result of close collaboration between the architects who design them and the craftsmen who construct them. Your purchasing program is no different. Like an architect, you need to be a well-organized problem-solver. Like a skilled craftsman, you need to know the tools that will build a strong and reliable end product.

Welcome to the GSA SmartPay® purchase charge card cardholder training. This training program is your blueprint for success - it will teach you how to use the purchase charge card responsibly. Your agency may have additional training/restrictions on the use of the purchase charge card. For specific information on agency training/restrictions you may contact your agency/organization program coordinator (A/OPC). A listing of the A/OPCs is located at www.gsa.gov/gsasmartpay .
