The contracting know-how every project manager needs. Federal projects live or die by the contracts behind them — and FPM 132 gives project and program managers the working command of federal contracting their role demands, without having to become a 1102. You'll move through the acquisition lifecycle the way it actually unfolds: acquisition planning, contract formation, and performance and administration — and learn the things that have to be done right early, because that's where the cost of getting it wrong is highest. This is the course that lets a PM sit across from a contracting officer and understand exactly what's happening, why it matters, and where their project is exposed. You won't just learn the steps — you'll understand why each phase matters and how to protect your project as it moves through them.
A note on certification paths: There's more than one way to meet FAC-P/PM Level I training. Some agencies look for the FPM 120 path (120A/120B or 120 (FED), then 121); others accept the FPM 131–134 series, taken as a set, to satisfy Level I. 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.
Pricing is set per engagement. Contact Phoenix Canyon to request a quote.
