DEFENSE ACQUISITION UNIVERSITY TRAINING Te FY14 schedule of Defense Acquisition University (DAU) courses has been available for student registration since May 16. Students may apply using the Army Training Require- ments and Resources Internet Training Application System (AITAS) at
https://atrrs.army.mil/channels/aitas/. Planning and applying early will afford students a better opportunity to obtain a class in the time frame requested.
Encourage your supervisor to approve your training request as soon as you apply. Tat approval is necessary in AITAS before the training request can be processed. View the DAU iCatalog at
http://icatalog.dau.mil to ensure that prerequisite(s) are met before applying to a DAU course. A weekly low-fill listing is posted weekly on DAU’s website. Low-fill classes are available on a first-come, first-served basis within 60 days from the start date of the class for students in Priority 2, and within 40 days for Priority 3-5 students. Even if a class is on the low-fill list, students must choose a cost-effective location for their training.
Te Army Registrar’s office cannot process applications until the supervisor has approved the employee’s request for train- ing. It is also imperative that the student and supervisor’s email addresses are correct on the AITAS student profile. For more information on DAU training, including system- atic instructions, training priority definitions and frequently asked questions, please visit USAASC’s DAU Web page at
http://asc.army.mil/web/career-development/programs/ defense-acquisition-university-training/. Once you have received a confirmed reservation in the requested class, ensure
that you attend the class as scheduled. Cancellation requests for a confirmed reservation must be submitted at least 30 calendar days before the class starts or by the reservation cutoff date, whichever is earlier, to avoid a no-show.
For FY14, we anticipate a 30 percent cut in DAU travel funds. At this time, USAASC will fund only Priority 1 (required training) travel to cost-effective locations. Depending on fund- ing, we may also elect to centrally fund Priority 2 travel to cost-effective locations. All requests, including submission of the travel worksheet (for students approved for DAU funding), should be completed no later than 15 days before the start date of the course. Students may start their travel order as early as 60 days before the start date.
Requirements for DAWIA certification still exist; the fur- lough did not affect the deadlines. (For example, six furlough days would not extend your grace period by six days. How- ever, in the event of furloughs related to a partial government shutdown, the Office of the DACM would issue guidance should grace periods be extended.) Workforce members and their supervisors should plan their training and ensure that they have adequate time to complete prerequisite training before attending the follow-on course. Reservations for fol- low-on training will be canceled if prerequisite requirements have not been met 30 days before the start date of the follow- on course.
FY14 certification changes: DOD acquisition, technology and logistics career field certification standards are imple- mented on Oct. 1 of each fiscal year. See Figure 2 on Page 182 for the FY14 changes. For career fields not listed in the table, there are no approved changes to date. To view the most current career field certification standards for your acquisition position, go to DAU’s iCatalog at
