January 23, 20233 yr comment_75456 I like the idea of passing an exam very much: "Passing the contracting professional certification exam is required to obtain the FAC-C (Professional). An optional exam prep class is available to assist in preparation for the exam. More information on the certification exam is available at CON 3990V – Contract Certification Exam – Defense Acquisition University (dau.edu)." Never have liked being around for a year and not getting fired making someone eligible for any certification. Report
January 23, 20233 yr comment_75457 The OFPP FAC-C is nothing but an admission that the government has to lower its standards because it never met its old ones, which weren't very demanding. Report
January 23, 20233 yr Author comment_75462 “Professional Examination. Contracting professionals must pass the contracting professional certification exam to obtain the FAC-C (Professional). The exam assesses the contracting common competencies to determine initial readiness of the candidate. An optional exam prep class will be available to assist in preparation for the exam.” Whenever I read something like this, I get skeptical. It reminds me of the old college football player jokes. No one fails Report
