BCF-209 revised in fiscal 2004 - Career Development

BCF-209, DAU's Selected Acquisition Report (SAR) Course, has been revised for fiscal 2004. Instead of one 5-day classroom course, BCF-209 will be split out to include a Web portion and an in-classroom portion in fiscal 2004. In addition, the course title has been changed to "Acquisition Reporting Course."

* BCF-209A will be two hours of Web course material, delivered via Atlas (DAU Virtual Campus). Designed for students requiring knowledge of acquisition reports and those who prepare and review reports, BCF-209A is a prerequisite for BCF-209B and BCF-209C. DAU had planned to make BCF 209A available in early October 2003; however, deployment has been delayed while the course is upgraded and improved. Although BCF 209A is a prerequisite for BCF 209B and BCF 209C, students may register for BCF-209B or BCF-209C now. Currently, DAU expects to have BCF 209A available around mid to late November 2003.

* BCF-209B and 209C are run together at the same time, in the same classroom. Those students who apply for 209B will attend only the first 2 days to learn the Acquisition Program Baseline (APB) and Defense Acquisition Executive Summary (DAES) reports using the Consolidated Acquisition Reporting System (CARS) for Major Acquisition Information Systems (MAIS) programs. The 209B students will leave after the second day.

* Students who are in the BCF-209 B and 209C class, who are registered as "209C" students, must remain for the entire 4 days. BCF-209C is designed for students who prepare the APB and DAES reports, and the Selected Acquisition Report using the CARS for Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs). (BCF-209C includes everything taught in BCF-209B and more.)

Certificates will be provided based upon the class in which students enrolled--BCF-209B or 209C. BCF 209A/B/C are all assignment-specific courses. The BCF-209A schedule is expected to be loaded by mid to late November 2003. The BCF-209B and BCF-209C schedules have been loaded and are available for registration.
