The lessons can be completed individually or as a full course, allowing users to tailor the training to their specific needs. In addition, the lessons feature hyperlinks to other Federal Student Aid information and products, interactive exercises, review questions, and quizzes that help learners assess their mastery of the course material.
The updated FSA COACH for domestic schools is available on the Federal Student Aid E-Training Web site, located at http://fsatraining.info.
