The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) issued Acquisition Flash 22-01 Continuous Learning Requirements, announcing that Federal Acquisition Certification (FAC) Continuous Learning (CL) requirements will resume on May 1, 2022. Starting on this date, all OFPP FAC certifications (i.e., FAC-C, FAC-P/PM, FAC-COR) will have a two-year common CL period, and all ‘certified' FAC holders in FAI CSOD will continue to be in good standing. OFPP has decided that CL points earned before May 1, 2022 will not be applied to the next CL period (May 1, 2022–April 30, 2024). New capabilities in FAI CSOD will help you manage your CL.
