objectives you wish to attain, submit your IDP electronically, through CAPPMIS, to your supervisor for review and approval. Your supervisor will receive email notifi- cation of your IDP updates and will log in to approve the request. After your supervisor has approved or denied your request, you will receive email notifica- tion. Te entire process is user-friendly and fast.
STEP 5. Once your IDP is approved, apply for DAU training. To apply for DAU courses, go to
https://www.atrrs.
army.mil/channels/aitas/main.asp. You cannot register for DAU courses unless they are approved on your IDP.
STEP 6. Apply for certification through
the Certification Manage-
ment System (CMS): Certification is not granted automatically. You must apply via CAPPMIS-CMS after completing the training and experience requirements. After the certifying official reviews your application, you will be notified by email of the approval or denial decision. If your application is denied, a justification will be provided with further instructions, if applicable.
Becoming certified in your position is mandatory. What you learn from train- ing, education and experience affects the entire Army, most notably the warfighter. Before applying for multiple
tions, you should focus first on obtaining the highest level of certification in your career field.
Equally important to know are the ramifications of not getting certified. Once you are placed into an Acquisi- tion Corps or workforce-coded position, you have 24 months to earn your certi- fication.

those certifica-
who fail to meet the statutory acquisi- tion career field certification within the grace period are subject to various personnel actions, such as reassign- ment, reduction in grade or pay band, loss of consideration for promotion, or separation from federal
service. Your
command can request a waiver, using DD Form 2905, to give you extra time if mandatory classes are filled or you cannot make certain training schedules required for certification.
