DAU has recently released a revised version of Continuous Learning Course (CLC) 125 – Berry Amendment. The revision was in response to a Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP) request to review the course content and determine if it still was an effective method of training personnel on the important aspects of the law and provide users the best courses of action for implementing the requirements. The request was a direct result of three related DoD Inspector General (IG) audits which found a small, but fairly consistent level of non-compliance across the Department (Army Navy and AF).
Our review revealed there was outdated material and gaps in the steps on how to properly implement the Berry Amendment for a given procurement. Content was re-arranged to make the flow more aligned with DFARS implementing guidance and a modern interface including avatars were added to make the material come alive and improve the student experience. The revised course meets the goal of emphasizing the important aspects of the law and provides the user the best courses of action on implementing its requirements.
DPAP feedback on the revised CLC 125 said the updates significantly exceeded their expectations and they like both the content and delivery. As a result Mr. Kendall will be mandating that all DoD Contracting Workforce members will be required to include CLC 125 in their FY17 IDP.
