We have a training change for Program Management Level II certification. CON 115, Contracting Fundamentals, will replace CON 110, Mission Support Planning, as a core training requirement for PM Level II DAWIA certification. On 17 November 2011, Mr. David Ahern, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Strategic and Tactical Systems, signed the Training Course Change for Level II DAWIA Program Management Certification memorandum directing the change. After December 2011, Defense Acquisition University (DAU) will no longer offer CON 110. As of this morning, approximately 25 seats remain open in the final offering of CON 110, which will have rolling enrollment through December. With rolling admissions, once the section fills, new students can be added as enrolled students complete the course. So if you don’t get in right away, continue to check through December. To help the transition, the first section of CON 115 will be available to the program management career field starting today. Program managers are not required to take the CON 090 prerequisite for CON 115. Either CON 110 or CON 115 will fulfill the PM Level II certification contracting course requirement. CON 115 is a significant upgrade covering not just the solicitation planning from CON 110, but also source selection execution and contractor performance assessment. I encourage program managers already certified at level II and III to take CON 115 as continuous learning.
