SMART FACTS Training

Recorded Instruction

SMART FACTS Training is offered on an ongoing basis via remote webinar training. Recorded training sessions can be accessed by clicking the link for each training topic listed in the chart below. When listening to recorded SMART FACTS training, please be prepared to reference your SMART FACTS Operations Manual. For other training not related to SMART FACTS, click here. For supplemental materials, click here.

Written Instruction

The SMP Resource Center provides both handouts and written instruction. SMART FACTS Job Aides are intended as quick reference guides to using the SMART FACTS software, especially for data entry staff and any users who do not need the level of detail provided in the comprehensive SMART FACTS Manual. Job Aides and other handouts can be accessed by clicking the links below. 

Note: The Job Aides are NOT intended to replace the thorough reporting and policy guidance provided in the SMART FACTS Manual. SMP project directors must be familiar with the more detailed and comprehensive information about SMART FACTS found in the manual, including how it is used to meet SMP program objectives (see the SMART FACTS Manual, chapter 1).
