hether you are a new or seasoned member of the
Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology (AL&T) Workforce,
knowing how to meet your certification requirements is essential to a successful acquisition career. Verify with your super- visor that your job is a designated AL&T Workforce position and, if so, find its Acquisition Position Category and Acqui- sition Position Level. Once you know the answers to these questions, you can follow these six career planning steps to manage your acquisition career.
STEP 1: PREPARE AN ACQUISITION CAREER BRIEF The Acquisition Career Record Brief (ACRB), accessible through the Career Acquisition Personnel and Position Man- agement Information Service (CAPPMIS) website at
https://rda.altess.army.mil/ camp, is an automated, authenticated record of your education, training, and acquisition assignment history. CAPPMIS provides access not only to the ACRB, but also to your Individual Development Plan (IDP) and the Army Training Requirements and Resources System Internet Training Appli- cation System (AITAS). The ACRB is your official acquisition record. It is your responsi- bility to initiate changes and keep it updated.
STEP 2: REVIEW CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS The Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act requires that employees meet the certification requirements (edu- cation, training, and experience) for their position within 24 months of assignment. Your first priority is to become certified in the acquisition career field (category) and level required by your current posi- tion. The career field category and level are shown on your ACRB. Certification requirements can be found in the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) Interactive Catalog at
http://icatalog.dau.mil.
INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Preparing and updating your IDP is an important part of managing your acquisition career.
STEP 3: PREPARE AN INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AL&T Workforce members are required to complete and maintain a five-year IDP. You can find the IDP in CAPPMIS at
https://rda.altess.army.mil/camp.
Preparing the IDP is a joint venture between you and your supervisor. The IDP permits you and your supervisor to identify and track career objectives in the areas of education, training, and experi- ential opportunities. Objectives should reflect broad, overall career goals and spe- cific developmental activities intended to accomplish them. The developmental objectives should be attainable in a rea- sonable time frame. They do not have to relate strictly to acquisition; they can include items such as functional train- ing, leadership, education, professional activities, and assignment experience that support the achievement of your broad career goals. The IDP should be reviewed in conjunction with the normal appraisal cycles.
STEP 4: SUBMIT IDP FOR APPROVAL Once you have annotated all of your career goals and have entered any edu- cation, training, or experience required to achieve the certification, submit your IDP to your supervisor for approval. This
process is done electronically; therefore, you must ensure that your current super- visor’s name and email address are correct in your IDP. Your supervisor receives a system-generated email notification when you submit your IDP for review and approval.
STEP 5: APPLY FOR DAU TRAINING After your supervisor approves your IDP, you may apply for DAU courses at
https://www.atrrs.army.mil/channels/ aitas/
main.asp. AITAS is the Web-based application system that provides dates, locations, and availability for all DAU training. AITAS works in conjunction with the IDP and allows AL&T Workforce members to submit training applications electronically for both distance learn- ing and resident courses. Remember, the IDP is for planning purposes only and is not the vehicle to register for DAU train- ing. However, you cannot register for any DAU training unless the course is identi- fied on your IDP and your supervisor has approved it.
STEP 6: APPLY FOR POSITION CERTIFICATION Certification is not automatic. After you have completed the appropriate train- ing, education, and experience required
