  5. Federal Acquisition Institute • Goal of certification program is to facilitate recognition of critical program and project management skills across the entire federal spectrum. • Certification will represent attainment of key program and project management skills required at various points in one’s federal career. • The federal certification covers essential skills recognized by managers across the government, agencies retain authority over assignment of program managers and the discretion to require supplemental training or experience for agency needs.

  6. Federal Acquisition Institute • Certification recommendation includes training and experience components. • FAI will administer program framework with agencies determining eligibility and issuing certificates. • FAI building “training blueprints” based on competencies for agency and vendor use. • FAI targeting delivery of training in 4Q07.
