DAU Learning Asset Information

DAU Learning Asset Information

DAU offers comprehensive learning assets to meet the career-long needs of the Defense Acquisition Workforce (DAW).

Credentials

The Under Secretaries of Defense (USD) for Acquisition and Sustainment (A&S) and for Research and Engineering (R&E) jointly sponsor the Defense Acquisition Credential Program through DAU to evolve today’s functional area and knowledge area framework to meet your needs.
Defense Acquisition Credentials provide the knowledge and associated skills to perform job-centric, niche, and/or emerging functions in the Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition environment. They are intended to enhance specific skills and improve performance in your workplace. Whether you manage capability requirements, acquire services/systems, or sustain capabilities, earning credentials can build your competence, confidence, and value to your organization and the DoD.
Refer to the iCatalog for detailed information about all credentials.

Training Courses

Register for self-paced online training (OLT) through DAU’s Virtual Campus.
Most OLT opportunities are available for our industry partners and non-DoD Federal agencies who have a DAU Virtual Campus account.
Instructor-Led Training (ILT) can be offered in the classroom (CLRM) or virtually (VILT).
Some VILT courses may be registered for through DAU’s Virtual Campus, but for most certification CLRM/VILT courses, students should work with their DoD Agency or Component Directors of Acquisition Career/Talent Management (DACMs/DATM) who oversee registration and attendance as indicated here: https://www.dau.edu/training/p/apply-for-a-course.
Normally, DACMs/DATM give registration priority for CLRM/VILT courses to DAW students who are pursuing certification in an acquisition functional area.
Refer to the iCatalog for detailed information about every DAU course.

Games/Simulations

Games/Simulations provide an opportunity to apply skills learned in a specific course.
Although many Games/Simulations are resident in specific DAU courses, students do not have to enroll in the course to access the Game/Simulation. When a Game/Simulation is completed outside of a course, it will register as a completion on your DAU official transcript.
Continuous Learning Points (CLPs) are not automatically assigned to a Game/Simulation; however, students can track their time and submit CLP requests through their supervisor and component CLP tracking system at a rate of 1 point per hour.
Refer to the iCatalog for detailed information about Games/Simulations.

Mission Assistance Workshops

DAU's Mission Assistance activities include consulting services for teams and individuals as well as acquisition workshops.
Typically, workshops are scheduled on-demand and delivered by DAU faculty for requesting organizations at the customer's location or at DAU facilities. In some cases, a Fee-for-Service (FFS) arrangement may apply and will be coordinated between the organization’s and DAU’s representatives. For Mission Assistance, please contact your Regional Associate Dean for Outreach and Mission Assistance (ADOMA).
Many workshops are now available through Individual Enrollment as indicated in the chart’s “Individual Enrollment” column.
Refer to the iCatalog for detailed information on Mission Assistance Workshop opportunities.

Commercial Learning Opportunities
