New DoD Functional Services Manager Credential
Your DAU colleagues are pleased to announce the deployment of our newest multi-disciplinary defense acquisition credential entitled ”CACQ 013 Functional Services Manager Credential”.
The purpose of the Functional Services Manager (FSM) credential is to develop a highly qualified diverse workforce capable of performing current and future DoD service acquisition (SA) functions. The FSM needs to have a working knowledge of DoDI 5000.74 Defense Acquisition of Services, the policy and best practices therein. By obtaining this credential, both the non-acquisition and acquisition workforce are provided opportunities for broadening their experience and improving their effectiveness in leading services acquisitions. The credential leverages current DoD training and educational resources to the maximum extent possible, while at the same time adopting commercial best practices in training and education related to services management. An emphasis is placed on helping the FSM to think critically and make better decisions as they confront the myriad of complex situations encountered in services acquisitions. The target audience includes both defense acquisition and non-acquisition workforce members performing services acquisition to meet the department's mission needs. Personnel may be newly nominated FSMs or FSMs at a practitioner level who desire more training through this credential.
The deployment of this new CACQ 013 credential also brings to 37 the total number of multi-disciplinary defense acquisition credentials now available from DAU, which now include:
