All secondary and tertiary certifications were transitioned in the individual’s Acquisition Career Record Brief, as long as the OSD Functional Acquisition Leader memo allowed it. However, two Functional Areas — Program Management (PM) at the Advanced Tier and Business – Financial Management (BUS-FM) at both the Practitioner and Advanced Tier – have a special restriction: AAW members in these Functional Areas must be occupying a PM or BUS-FM coded position, as appropriate, in order for their certification to transition.
