The technical foundations of project management, taken to the next level. Where FPM 131 grounds you in the core disciplines, FPM 231 is where you apply them: the mid-level course that prepares federal project managers to lead and manage medium-sized, moderate-risk investments from strategy through execution. You'll move past understanding the pieces to assembling them — constructing an overall acquisition strategy, developing and managing requirements, and working through the systems engineering, technology and risk management, test and evaluation, and integrated logistics support that carry a real project forward. Along the way you'll build the documents the job actually runs on: a Work Breakdown Structure, an Integrated Master Plan that maps the full life cycle, and a Total Cost of Ownership estimate — applying Total Life-Cycle Systems Management the way a working PM does. You won't just know the disciplines — you'll know how to integrate them into a plan that holds together, and understand why the choices you make early decide whether a project delivers.
A note on certification paths: This course is one of the four FPM 231–234 courses that together meet FAC-P/PM Mid-Level training. Mid-level certification also calls for relevant project/program management experience. Because requirements vary by agency, check with your Acquisition Career Manager (ACM) to confirm what your agency requires 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: 4 days / 32 CLPs. Classroom or virtual.
Pricing is set per engagement. Contact Phoenix Canyon to request a quote.
