The complete entry-level fundamentals, delivered in one week. FPM 120 (FED) combines everything in FPM 120A and FPM 120B into a single, hands-on five-day class — the full entry-level FAC-P/PM foundation in one focused week, rather than two separate courses. You'll build the foundation first: what project management actually is, what a federal project manager is responsible for, and the core principles and acquisition basics the role demands. Then you'll follow a project across its entire lifecycle — from early planning and development, through test and evaluation, into operation and long-term sustainment — including the systems life-cycle management and integrated product support concepts that keep a project sound from inception to retirement. You won't just learn what the job is and what the phases are called — you'll understand why the fundamentals matter and how the decisions made early echo all the way downstream.
A note on certification paths: There's more than one way to meet FAC-P/PM Level I training. Some agencies look for FPM 120A and 120B (which this course delivers together) and FPM 121; others accept the FPM 131–134 series. Because requirements vary by agency, check with your Acquisition Career Manager (ACM) to confirm which courses your agency requires or accepts before you build your certification plan.
Whether you take it for certification or not — this is a great way to earn CLPs while building genuinely valuable, immediately usable project management skills. Solid knowledge, real CLP credit, and practical tools and information to make you better at your job.
Best for: entry-level federal project and program managers who want both entry-level fundamentals courses delivered together, in a single focused week — plus contracting professionals (1102s) and others who work alongside program offices and want the full foundation while earning CLPs.
Format: 5 days / 40 CLPs. Classroom or virtual.
Pricing is set per engagement. Contact Phoenix Canyon to request a quote.
