**Required Student Experience: This course is not a replacement for FAR training. This is intended as a one-day update course based on government initiated changes to the FAR. Attendees should be already well-versed in the FAR, its content and application.

Each year the FAR is changed numerous times. For example, in the last 12 months, 20 Federal Acquisition Circulars (FACs) were issued that materially changed the FAR across a very broad range of topics. It is essential that acquisition professionals in Government and contractor organizations keep up with these changes because they can significantly affect acquisition strategies and the rights of the parties.

Because most do not have the time to search for and read every FAR change, this innovative one-day training session performs that task for you. Course materials are continually updated and cover FAR changes made in the 12-month period preceding each class. In the Annual Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Update workshop, students will not only learn about the changes, but will also receive expert analysis of the impact of the changes and how Government and contractor personnel can effectively implement them.

This workshop offers Continuing Professional Education Credits (CPE's). A certificate of course completion will be issued at the conclusion of the event verifying the total credits received.
