Buyer Web Based Training

Welcome to the Buyer Web Based Training page! Below are a series of interactive trainings to assist in learning to use NC eProcurement.

Please note that all of these trainings were created in the flash file format, meaning that the recommended browser is Internet Explorer to view and use the trainings. Chrome and Firefox no longer support flash files.

In addition, because these trainings were created for an older system, the "Continue" button to keep moving through the course will likely not appear. Instead, to continue through the content, you may click where the Continue button used to appear in the lower center of the screen, or use the "Play" button located on the lower left, as seen below:

The NC eProcurement team is hard at work on creating new trainings that will be available on every browser in the future, so stay tuned for updates!
