For access to USAF:

Before requesting access to USAF BUILDER, users must complete AFIT/WMGT training in accordance with AFCEC's SMS Playbook. Indicate the training date in the “Date Training Acquired” column and also list which training has been taken in the 'Comments' area of the form. Users requesting access to the USAF will also need to have their request form submitted by the appropriate POC for the location where access is being requested. 

[Note for USAF ANG/AFRC access requests:  AFIT/WMGT certificates of completion for the Level of access requested are required to be provided along with the access request form.


For access to USA:

Before requesting access to USA BUILDER, .mil users requesting either an Assessor or Work Planner role are now required to complete 'U.S. Army BUILDER Training' on the SMS LMS training site (https://training.sms.erdc.dren.mil). There is also recommended training for a Read-Only account, but it is not a requirement for this level of initial access. In order to obtain and complete this training, prospective user will need to create an account and register on the SMS LMS site (https://training.sms.erdc.dren.mil/login/signup.php).  Once the required course topics have been completed for the Assessor or Work Planner level of access, a corresponding Certificate of Completion will become available for the user to print or save/download for sending along with their access request form. Please note that our SMS Support team does not maintain/store the certificates from the LMS site, and users will need to download any required certificate(s) upon the completion of the courses for requesting BUILDER access. Indicate the training date in the “Date Training Acquired” column and also list which training has been taken in the 'Comments' area of the form.  

[Note for USA IMCOM access only: Prospective army.mil BUILDER users with access to IMCOM’s Infrastructure Sustainment Division | Public Works Support Services (PWSS) should visit this BUILDER information page which contains all the steps and links you will need to acquire access : https://armyeitaas.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/IMCOM-HQ-G4/SitePages/PW-GeT-Overview---General---BUILDER.aspx ]
