. . . that we are one of the FEW providers of FAC Certified Program and Project Management training?

This training is VERY hard to find, and prospective students are queuing up for months awaiting federal agency authority to sit in on one of their own FAC-certified courses.  Why be delayed? Come to one of our certified training courses and get a seat in the next scheduled class.  We have a solid core of seasoned Project Management Practitioner instructors, all of whom are PMP Certified.  As a PMI Registered Education Provider since 2005, we are also authorized to award Professional Development Units (PDUs) to students who complete our courses.

In 2005, we partnered with Siege Engine Inc. (a PMI Registered Education Provider offering government and commercial clients a wide range of PMI Certified Project Management training courses) to provide a Project Management training solution to two agencies.  This proved so successful that we have joined into a full partnership to provide similar and customized PM training to other government and commercial customers.  Due to our hard work and outstanding courseware design, we have gained high praise from the review board of the Federal Acquisition Institute's FAC-P/PM program.

The Federal Acquisition Certification for Program and Project Managers (FAC-P/PM) is based on essential competencies that were established by a cross-government, cross-functional working group.  Certification is based on managers attaining competencies and experience associated with each of the three levels and ensuring that they receive 80 hours of continuous learning every two years.  The competencies and experience are cumulative across levels.  An applicant can satisfy the competency requirements through successful completion of suggested training, completion of comparable education or certification programs, or demonstration of knowledge, skills, and abilities.  

The establishment of core competencies ensures that the acquisition community develops common skills across the Federal spectrum.  OFPP and Department of Defense retain responsibility for development and management of civilian and defense agency acquisition workforces, respectively.  The objective of the FAC-P/PM is to align a base of essential competencies across the Federal Government's acquisition workforce.  The current base of competencies for acquisition program and project managers will be maintained by the Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) at www.fai.gov.  These essential competencies will be updated periodically, expanded, or otherwise modified to meet the current and future acquisition workforce requirements and emerging trends in the government's acquisition practices.

FAC-P/PM has three levels of certification- (1) entry, (2) mid-level/journeyman and (3) senior/expert.  Below are the detailed requirements for each level.

I.  Entry Level - At this level, program and project managers should have:

Experience

At least one year of project management experience within the last five years.  Project management experience includes experience constructing a work breakdown structure; preparing project analysis documents; tailoring acquisition documents to ensure that quality, effective, efficient systems or products are delivered; analyzing and/or developing requirements; monitoring performance; assisting with quality assurance; and budget development.

II.  Mid-Level/Journeyman - At this level, program and project managers should have:

Experience

At least two years of program or project management experience within the last five years that includes experience at the entry level as well as experience performing market research, developing documents for risk and opportunity management, developing and applying technical processes and technical management processes, performing or participating in source selection, preparing acquisition strategies, managing performance based service agreements, developing and managing a project budget, writing a business case, and strategic planning.

III.  Senior/Expert Level - At this level, program and project managers should have:
