Many of us have occasion to travel on Government business, and in doing so are subject to regulations, statutes, and policies. This training summarizes much of this guidance, so that you will be more aware of the requirements, and less likely to commit inadvertent violations.

If you would like to change the size of the font as it appears in your browser, you can do so by going to the Menu Bar at the top of the browser page, select "View" and from the drop-down, select "Text Size" and from this drop-down, select the size (larger or smaller) of the font you want to use.

The training is designed to last approximately one hour, although some may complete it in less time.

If you have questions on how this guidance may apply to your particular situation, please contact your ethics counselor in advance. It is much easier and safer for you to get advice ahead of time, than it is to try to undo inappropriate actions. In fact, allegations involving improper official travel make up a large portion of the number of investigations conducted by the Inspector General. Such actions can involve career-ending mistakes, as well as costly administrative, civil, or even criminal penalties.

If you use NETSCAPE, you will have to print out a certificate of completion and send it to your ethics counselor in order to receive credit.
