BFM 3000 Advanced Acquisition Financial Management
 Description
Advanced Acquisition Financial Management, is delivered in TWO parts for implementation/registration purposes and spans two (2) consecutive weeks.

BFM 3000, a four (4) day classroom/resident course, is Part II. Part I is BFM 2990V which is a four (4) day virtual course. When you register for BFM 3000, you will automatically be registered for Part I, BFM 2990V. BFM 2990V is NOT available for independent registration. For your planning purposes, BFM 2990V will always occur the week prior to the BFM 3000 offering you are approved to attend.

Together, BFM 2990V and BFM 3000 comprise a highly engaging blended learning course of instruction designed to foster critical thinking via instructor facilitated discussions, small groups sessions, and shared experiences. Students will be placed in a mock program office environment where they will use current acquisition programs to research, analyze and evaluate program financial data in order to develop briefings for senior leadership to make programmatic decisions.

This dynamic course will require hands on application and strategic analysis during small group collaboration sessions while making ethical cost effective, performance, quantity and schedule trade-offs, and managing risk to achieve programmatic milestones.
