TROOP FALL PRODUCT MANAGER TRAINING

Troop fall product managers are required to complete training prior to beginning in-person sales. Troops have one of two options: complete training with your service unit or online training using gsLearn. Troops opting for online training must provide their completion certificate to their service unit fall product manager upon completion of training. Training will automatically be assigned to all fall product managers renewed for the 2021 membership year by the end of August 2020. If you do not see the training in your gsLearn account, you can search for 634 Troop Fall Product Manager Training 2020 from the content library.
