Quantifying the Impact of the Acquisition Professional Development Program Certification Requirements on the Air Force Institute of Technology.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of implementing the Acquisition Professional Development Program on the Air Force Institute of Technology. APDP is part of a DOD-wide effort to decrease inefficiency in the procurement process. The program encompasses a tri-level certification process based on experience, training, and educational standards. APDP serves as a guideline for professional development of acquisition personnel from entry to senior level management. Many of the courses required for certification are offered through AFIT School of Systems and Logistics. Integrating the new educational requirements as a standard for career development is expected to produce a tremendous increase in AFIT course demands. It is the purpose of this research to analyze the acquisition workforce using the standards of APDP and determine the probable course demand facing AFIT school of Systems and Logistics.
