This year, A/OPCs will have an opportunity to earn a Charge Card Manager Certification (CCMC) by completing the required coursework offered during the forum, and by possessing “hands-on” experience in managing a card program. Use of this certification program is voluntary and is intended to help customer agencies ensure their card management personnel have the fundamental training and experience needed to manage a card program. If you received the CCMC before 2017, you must re-qualify for the certification at the GSA SmartPay Training Forum.
Those that plan to pursue the CCMC at this year's forum should be sure to indicate their intention by answering YES to the following two questions when prompted at the time of registration:
After the forum, candidates will receive an email from smartpayccmc@gsa.gov with a link to the GSA SmartPay Training website. Once they click on the link provided in the email and sign in to the site, they will be asked to confirm that they have met the CCMC training and experience requirements.
For those that need to establish a GSA SmartPay training account, go to training.smartpay.gsa.gov and click on “My Account/Register” at the upper right of the screen to create an account.
Check out the Smart Bulletin and FAQs document for more details about this year’s certification requirements and process.
Download the forum's mobile app or click here to see whether a course is a GSA SmartPay Qualifying Class or a Bank/Brand Qualifying Class.
Those that qualified for the CCMC at the 2018 forum will receive an email by September 7, 2018 with instructions on how to get your certificate. The email will be sent to all attendees who met the training requirements regardless of whether you indicated interest in the program at the time of registration.
