Finance Administration and Practices Training Program
The Finance Administration & Practices Training Program is designed to support learners by offering role-specific learning paths, web-based training, and review sessions with practice opportunities. Training courses can be completed through the UC Learning Center under Finance Administration and Practices. Depending on your responsibilities, you may find it helpful to take additional courses beyond your primary learning path.
Training is designed as a three-part learning experience:
- Web-based training provides job-specific instruction tailored to your role, covering financial system-based business processes, what-if scenarios, best practices, and workflow approvals.
- Workshops follow the web-based training and offer hands-on "review and practice" experience in the Oracle training environment.
- Training resources are quick reference guides and videos available to assist you with completing tasks on the job.
Web-Based Training (WBTs)
The web-based trainings (WBTs) are available anytime and offer job-specific financial courses covering system-based business processes, what-if scenarios, best practices, and workflow approvals. Be sure to collaborate with your supervisor to identify the right learning path for you!
