FSS Center for Acquisition Excellence Acquire the Knowledge

Posted August 20, 2004

Have you been wondering how to properly place orders against a GSA Schedule contract, or how to obtain and manage a GSA Schedule contract? How can you learn the ins and outs if it’s tough just getting away from the office to attend a training session? Would taking the training at your desk, online, make it easier? That’s what GSA’s FSS Center for Acquisition Excellence Virtual Campus offers. All this, and it’s free too!

GSA is making sure that training for its customers and vendors is available without a hassle. These classes are online now:

• Using GSA Schedules for Customers
  Designed for authorized ordering activities such as federal agency procurement officials, this course covers the proper use of GSA Schedules. Ask how this course can be customized for your agency.
•  How to Become a GSA Schedule Contractor
  This course teaches how the GSA Schedules Program works and how to obtain and manage a GSA Schedule.
• Cooperative Purchasing Program
  This program was developed to train acquisition personnel with state and local governments how to use the Cooperative Purchasing Program.

If you decide online training is not your style, the Center offers traditional classroom training to agency and military personnel.
