Changes to Cenex® Refined Thinking platform coming

We are excited to announce changes coming to our online energy product training platform.

We will be discontinuing the current Cenex® Refined Thinking platform, effective December 31, 2024. Beginning in early 2025, we will transition digital product coursework to a new platform. CHS employees will have a single sign on capability, and we will also support a registration process for non CHS employees. This new platform will allow us to offer a more engaging and supportive experience within the comprehensive training journey for our energy products.

Please note the following key points:

  • Beginning for FY26, refined fuels marketing will no longer require a representative at each location to pass the Advanced Premium Diesel Fuels course to certify a distributor location on Cenex.com and receive Cenex premium diesel ad share dollars for the upcoming fiscal year.
  • Retail training will no longer be available on the future platform.
  • The lubricants marketing team will close the required Cenex Total Protection Plan® and LubeScan® training early this year on December 1, 2024, and remove it from the website.

You should expect a brief period where training will be unavailable as the team completes the transition to the new platform. With a robust communications plan in place, guidance will be available outlining the new platform and registration process closer to launch.

Our team is working hard to enhance energy product training capabilities and are grateful for your partnership in educating yourself and your sales teams on Cenex products. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to refinedfuelsmarketing@chsinc.com.
