Foundational project management skills for the federal workforce. This course builds the bedrock: what project management actually is, what a federal project manager is responsible for, and the core principles, methods, and acquisition basics the role demands. It's designed for civilian-agency personnel stepping into project work who want to think like a project manager — understanding not just what the job involves, but the reasoning behind how good PMs plan, decide, and deliver. You'll leave able to manage a small project or contribute as a sharp, informed member of a project team, with the judgment to know why the fundamentals matter, not just what they are.
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 (or FPM 120 (FED)) followed by 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.
Format: 3 days / 24 CLPs. Classroom or virtual (live, instructor-led). [We also offer FPM 120A and FPM 120B combined - see FPM 120 (FED) for more information.]
Best for: entry-level program and project managers at federal civilian agencies pursuing FAC-P/PM — and contracting professionals (1102s) and others who work alongside program offices and want to understand the PM side while earning CLPs.
Pricing is set per engagement. Contact Phoenix Canyon to request a quote.
