FAC-P/PM Blueprints

Posted on October 15, 2007

FAI identified a need for a resource to detail the Federal Acquisition Certification for Program and Project Management (FAC-P/PM) program with blueprints that could be accessed by individuals interested in self-assessment and individual development plan (IDP) development. The blueprints can be used by supervisors to identify knowledge and skill gaps and point them to training to address those gaps for individuals and also by training providers to determine where their course offerings and learning opportunities fit into the FAC-P/PM program.
