Our Mission and Values

We have come to teach. We feel that the best way to serve federal employees is to give them clear, practical, and actionable information, without sales pitches and pressure.
Unwavering Trust
We are a nationally recognized training provider and an actively registered SAM-approved vendor. We maintain the utmost standards of accuracy and compliance in all our activities
Dedicated Support
We do not leave you alone after the course is completed. We provide free after-seminar assistance so you can always have a reliable person to consult.

Our Story

Founded in 1980, FEDTraining (a subsidiary of Personal Benefit Services of Colorado, Inc.) was the creation of economics professor Gary Melling. While working with several federal employees and retirees, Gary realized government did a poor job of educating its own employees about their complex retirement benefits. There was a dire need of clear and unbiased advice. FedTraining was created to fill that vacuum.

For over 40 years, we have been committed to this one, simple mission: to empower federal employees through education. We are not financial advisors selling products in a seminar; we are educators who are dedicated to giving you the knowledge you need to make confident decisions about your future.
