An NSA will be issued soon, which will provide detailed information. In June, we completed the revisions to the SPA Training Region and began offering our SPA Core Lab and SPA Refresher Labs. We have incorporated recent system enhancements into the new training region for surplus property and receiving transferred property. The basis for these courses will be the recently updated SPA User's Manual and SPA Policies and Procedures Manual . It is recommended for the beginning or intermediate user.
Students learn how to add, manage, and report on property.
Class topics include report availability and reporting deadlines as well as diverse acquisition methods and the requirements for adding and disposing of property. Our SPA Refresher Lab is a one-day class recommended for experienced users or managers who need a general overview of the system. This class also satisfies the Comptroller's SPA Policy and Procedures requirements for property managers' refresher training which must be taken no less than once every three years. Topics include the fundamental functions of the system and more complex acquisition and disposal methods, in addition to a review of adding, managing, and reporting on property. Both classes combine explanations of key concepts with hands-on exercises.
