DEFENSE ACQUISITION UNIVERSITY TRAINING Students should continue to apply to the FY14 DAU sched- ule using the AITAS at
https://atrrs.army.mil/channels/aitas/. Planning and applying early will afford students a better chance of obtaining a class in the time frame requested.
Encourage your supervisor to approve your training request as soon as you apply. Supervisors must approve the training request in AITAS so that the USAASC registration office can process the application. Students should view the DAU iCatalog at http://
icatalog.dau.mil to ensure that they meet the prerequisite(s) before applying to a DAU course. Workforce members should plan their training with their supervisors to make sure they have adequate time to complete prerequisite training before attending the follow-on course. Reservations in follow-on courses are can- celed if prerequisite requirements are not met.
Also, it is imperative that student and supervisor email
addresses are correct in the AITAS student profile. For more information on DAU training, including systematic instructions, definition of training priorities and frequently asked questions, go to USAASC’s DAU webpage at http://
a sc.a rmy.mi l/web/ca reer-development /programs/ defense-acquisition-university-training/.
To receive temporary duty funding for DAU classes, students should apply to the next class available in a cost- effective location. USAASC received reduced DAU travel funds for FY14 and, at this time, will fund only Priority 1 and 2 students for travel to cost-effective locations.
Here are some DAU training best practices to help students better prepare for a DAU resident course:
Reduce the lag time between taking Part A (the online prereq- uisite) and Part B (resident portion).
Review prerequisite materials before attending a follow-on resident portion.
Review course objectives (available in the DAU iCatalog) before attending class.
Consult with instructors before class on their recommenda- tions to ensure success.
Reach out to instructors and fellow students during class time for further assistance.
Prepare by reading and having a general overview of the class materials before the beginning of each class.
Study nightly, and review notes in the morning before class.
Te Program Manager’s and Executive Program Manager’s Courses, PMT 401 and PMT 402, are required by law for program PEOs, deputy PEOs (DPEOs), program managers (PMs) and deputy program managers (DPMs) of Acquisition Category (ACAT) I and II programs. Board-selected ACAT I or II PMs should attend the course before beginning their assignment.
