This course teaches the skills needed to run a program — a set of related projects that has to deliver something none of them could alone. FPM 331 is the senior-level course that builds the technical command to lead an agency's major acquisition efforts across the entire life cycle. You'll work in the world of Total Life-Cycle Systems Management (TLCSM): synthesizing requirements into viable acquisition strategies and adapting them as the program changes, managing the systems engineering and technology decisions behind a balanced system design, and directing the integrated planning that holds it all together — the Integrated Master Plan and Integrated Master Schedule, the Total Cost of Ownership estimate, and a structured process for managing risks, threats, and opportunities. You'll also work the long game: product support and supply chain approaches that increase system readiness, maintain affordability, and shrink the logistics footprint over the system's whole life. This is where the disciplines you learned and applied become something you direct at the program level — and you'll understand why the decisions made there echo across every project beneath them, for years.
A note on certification paths: This course is one of the four FPM 331–334 courses that together meet FAC-P/PM Senior-Level training. Senior-level certification also calls for significant 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.
