Effective January 2006, all acquisition workforce personnel must obtain - and maintain - certification at the level for which they are employed.  Training requirements are divided into program pre-requisites; core requirements and electives; and post-certification Continuous Learning.  Click here for more information on DAWIA/FAC-C certification.

With 38% of the federal acquisition workforce eligible to retire by FY2008 and up to 20% more attrition due to early retirements and transfer - agencies need a fast and effective way to ensure their changing workforce meets core competency requirements, supports the customer mission, and ensures efficient use of taxpayer dollars.

Government*Horizons, a non-profit, woman-owned business, was established to help the government acquisition workforce meet these needs.  We are continually adding courses and workshop and convenient locations.  Or we can bring our courses to you for cost-effective group training.  For more information about on-site training, please click here.
