Yes, they are the same training program. Financial Foundations is the introductory series before being enrolled in the on-going program. Employees are required to stay enrolled in the on-going program while in a role with these fiscal responsibilities. 

Training requirements for the on-going portion of the FAST program are assigned as a curriculum, rather than specific courses, in the myUK Learning Management System (LMS). Participants will see 'FAST Training Cycle #' on their learning plans.

Participants choose which courses they would like to complete from the FAST Library. At this time, courses cannot be repeated for credit toward compliance. 

You can search for courses and assign them to yourself using the steps below:

1. View your Completed Work list, search FAST in the Title, and make note of the FAST courses you have previously completed. 

2. Access the FAST Course Library to view courses and assign them to your learning plan. 

3. Navigate to your Learning Assignments to complete the courses in myUK Learning. 

You can also view the list of courses and courses in development on the Courses Page of our website.

As a supervisor at the University of Kentucky, it will be your responsibility to ensure mandatory participants have completed the Finance and Administration Specialized Training (FAST) program. 

Per the program guidelines, disciplinary actions for failure to take the training are as follows: 

Failing to complete the designated training by given deadlines will result in the following corrective action, using a “reasonableness standard” by supervisors: 

• Step 1: First Non-compliance - Written Warning with “reasonable” timeframe to complete 
• Step 2: Second Non-compliance beyond “reasonable” timeframe to complete – Probation 
• Step 3: Third Non-compliance beyond “reasonable” timeframe to complete – Termination 

Please note: Some departments may have additional consequences depending on their own compliance requirements.

The FAST team will review the submission and contact you if further information is needed.
