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.

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.

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 Acquisition Program Baseline (APB) is a term used by the United States Department of Defense to refer to a program threshold and objective values for the minimum number of cost, schedule, and performance attributes that describe the program over its life cycle.

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.
