Who is required to participate in the COL Annual Refresher?

Participation in the COL Annual Refresher is required for all practitioners involved in government travel. This includes a broad range of professionals who handle aspects of travel planning, regulations, and compliance. The primary goal of this requirement is to ensure that everyone engaged in government travel understands the latest updates, regulations, and best practices to maintain the integrity and efficiency of travel processes.

By mandating that all practitioners participate, the training promotes a consistent application of policies and ensures that no gap in knowledge exists among staff members responsible for various facets of travel management. This collective understanding helps improve overall compliance and minimizes risks associated with non-compliance.

The other options focus on narrower groups, which would not foster the comprehensive understanding required across the entire travel management function. By encompassing all practitioners rather than just newcomers or specific roles, the training maximizes its effectiveness and relevance within the government framework.
