The leadership that makes a project manager worth following. A federal project manager rarely picks their team, controls every variable, or gets a clean problem to solve — which is why leadership, not technical knowledge, is often what separates the projects that succeed from the ones that stall. FPM 134 builds the human side of running federal projects around five core skills: critical thinking and decision making, negotiation, leadership, communication, and conflict resolution — the abilities the job quietly demands every day. You'll learn to think clearly under pressure and make decisions you can defend; negotiate with stakeholders, industry, and your own chain; lead and hold a team accountable for results; communicate clearly in writing and in the room; and resolve the conflict that comes with competing priorities and real deadlines. Exercises put every one of these to work, because leadership isn't something you learn from a slide. You won't just hear about leading — you'll sharpen the judgment to earn trust, move a team toward a decision, and answer for the results.
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: 2 days / 16 CLPs. Classroom or virtual.
