DAU was created to provide the Department of Defense Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics workforce with a professional career path and consistency of training content and opportunity. The Defense Acquisition University is a corporate university that was established by the Department of Defense (DoD). “It is an educational activity that serves as a strategic tool in providing a global learning environment to develop qualified acquisition, requirements and contingency professionals who deliver and sustain effective and affordable warfighting capabilities.”
DAU training services are extended, on a space-available basis, to other United States government affiliations, including non-DoD federal agencies, members of the defense industry (DoD contractors), and international students (Foreign Local National, Foreign Military Sales, NATO).
DAU supports the Defense Acquisition Workforce through a variety of venues from knowledge sharing resources, job support tools, research, workshops, our mission assistance program and training. DAU delivers a full range of basic, intermediate and advanced Defense acquisition training to meet all certification and assignment-specific training requirements.
The online training program is delivered asynchronously over the internet 24/7. While priority for training is with the Defense Acquisition Workforce, most DAU training is available to all Federal employees and industry professionals supporting the DoD.
