[Tools & Forms] Acquisition Requirements Roadmap Tool (ARRT)

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

[Response] As of now DoD does not have a separate COR Refresher training course. So in a way you are correct about CLC 106 as it meets the “COR Specific Training” requirement as does CLC 222. Please view Appendix C of the Defense Contracting Officer Representative Handbook (DCOR) which is web enabled here in our COR community of practice. Additionally, Contracting Officers (KO) do have some leeway in deciding what training may constitute “COR Specific Training” for meeting the refresher training requirement. As an example, a KO might decide that CLC 013 Performance-Based Services Acquisition meets some of the refresher training hour requirements because the COR will be working on service contracts.

[Question] were do i go to print the certicates of completion of cor courses?

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

[Response] Only if your organization requires you to take it every year. DoD policy is that once you take the course, you may take it again in the future to fulfill the refresher training requirements. If you are interested in learning what DoD's policy on training and qualifications, you should go to the Defense COR HDBK Appendix C which lists what the minimum and suggested training requirements are including refresher training. It can be found via link from this CoP. Additionally, you can find the same information in the Defense Contingency COR HDBK-DCCOR (Appendix 3 in version 1 or Appendix F in version 2). Again, we have a link to version 2 right here on the CoP as well as a web enabled version 1 of the DCCOR HDBK.
