2025 DoD Government Purchase Card Refresher Practice Test

The first step a cardholder should take upon receiving their Government Purchase Card (GPC) is to review and complete the required training on GPC policies. This training is essential because it ensures that the cardholder understands the proper and approved uses of the card, the regulations governing its use, and the responsibilities and limitations imposed on cardholders. Familiarity with these policies is crucial for mitigating risks such as unauthorized purchases and potential repercussions for misuse. By completing this training first, the cardholder is equipped with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions about purchases and to comply with federal regulations, thereby maintaining the integrity of the government procurement process.
