Experience ‘full immersion’ in the FAR during two weeks in September

The Federal Acquisition Institute’s newest and most comprehensive course offering, FCN 190 – FAR Fundamentals, is now scheduled for presentation on the Georgia Tech campus in mid-September 2018.  The course provides students with a comprehensive review of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

By attending the FAR Fundamentals course, students learn the federal government’s policies and procedures for acquisition planning, source selection, and contract administration. Students work through realistic, scenario-based problems by identifying the relevant regulations, guidance, provisions and clauses that govern the federal contracting process.

The FCN 190 – FAR Fundamentals course was created in response to changes in the government’s professional development standards for federal contracting officials.  An OMB Memo on the Federal Acquisition Certification in Contracting Program establishes what’s known as the FAC-C (Refresh) program.  The effective date of the FAC-C (Refresh) was October 1, 2014.  Details of the training standards established under the FAC-C (Refresh) program can be seen by clicking here.

Registration information appears here.  The course is also available, on a contract basis, for presentation both on-campus at Georgia Tech and on-site at government facilities.
