DEFENSE ACQUISITION UNIVERSITY HIGHLIGHTS The FY13 Defense Acquisition University (DAU) class schedule will be available
160 Army AL&T Magazine
for registration on May 17. Students are encouraged to plan for DAU training and apply as soon as the schedule opens. Applying early will afford a better oppor- tunity to obtain a class in the timeframe requested. Students should also encour- age their supervisors to approve training requests as soon as they apply. Applica- tions cannot be processed by the Army registrar until the training has the super- visor’s approval. Please apply through the Army Training Requirements and Resources
(ATRRS) Internet Training
Application System (AITAS) at https://
www.atrrs.army.mil/channels/aitas. For more information on DAU training, including systematic instructions, train- ing priority definition, and frequently asked questions, go to
http://live.usaasc. info/career-development /civilian/ dau-certification-training. After receiv- ing a confirmed reservation, students should ensure that they attend the class as scheduled.
The contracting curriculum in FY12 entails significant Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) certification
changes for acquisition
workforce members in contracting-coded positions. CON 170, Fundamentals of Cost and Price Analysis, is a new course
required for Level I contracting certifica- tion and a required prerequisite to the Level II contracting course CON 270. Both CON 170 and CON 270 are two- week resident courses.
Because of a bottleneck in obtaining
CON 170, DAU released CON 170E, the Equivalency Examination Test Out for CON 170. Successful completion of CON 170E satisfies all course require- ments for CON 170—prerequisites as well as all associated DAWIA certification standards for which CON 170 is required.
Students planning or wanting to take the exam should be well-prepared, as the exam is difficult. Before taking the CON 170E exam should review the Contract
Pricing Reference Guides
at
https://acc.dau.mil/cprg, especially Volumes 1 and 3, Price Analysis and Cost Analysis, respectively; the Volume 2 chapters on price index numbers, net present value, cost ships,
and cost-volume-profit
estimating relation- analysis;
and the Volume 4 chapter on financial analyses. DAU course CLC 058 is a prerequisite for entry to the exam. For more information on the exam, go to
