Vendor Information – Application Processing

The ACB encourages vendors to submit vendor applications, course requests, change of instructor requests, rosters, etc., using the Vendor Automation Platform.   The platform allows vendors to track submissions and receive ACB notices confirming the transaction.

Registering to access the system is free and easy.  A one-time registration for your vendorship will be required upon your first use of service.  Registering for an account does not mean you are an approved vendor.

If you have questions or wish to share feedback on the Vendor Automation Platform, contact the Administrator Certification Bureau – Vendor Support and Review Unit at: ACSVendorInfo@dss.ca.gov.

Click the following link to register and sign-in to the platform:
