THIS STUDY GROUP IS FULL. PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR FUTURE STUDY GROUPS.
Do you have your CFCM certification awarded by the National Contract Management Association and recognized by the industry? The CFCM certification is most appropriate for contracting professionals in both the public and private sectors who deal extensively with federal contracts and have a minimum of one year of experience. It validates your education, training, experience and your knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) through an examination consisting of 150 multiple-choice questions. The NCMA Dulles Corridor Chapter is offering an eight-week study group to prepare for the exam. This is not FAR 101. A working knowledge of the FAR is required but full knowledge is not necessary. The study group is limited to 25 people. Register today to secure your seat in the study group!
