The following list of DAU Credentials consists of both Online Training (OLT) assets as well as Instructor-Led Training (vILT) courses and is accessible to the Federal AWF. Each concept card provides information about the credential and also offers the opportunity to apply for participation in the program.
FAI and other Federal agencies have the capability to support these credentials. They can provide the required vILT course through an equivalent provider recognized by DAU.
Federal AWF members who are interested in obtaining a credential that necessitates a DAU VILT course should opt for the FAI or Federal Provider session within the FAI CSOD platform during the registration process.
DAU Credentials shown in italics (*) require completion of a classroom (CLRM) and/or a Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) course. Priority for CLRM/VILT courses is given to the Defense Acquisition Workforce, making it difficult for others to fulfill this requirement if not already completed at enrollment. No equivalent courses are available through DAU equivalent vendors. DAU course registration may be an option, but it depends on the Department of Defense's training priority system. Federal Acquisition Workforce (AWF) members do not receive any priority in this regard.
