Veterans Affairs Acquisition Academy (VAAA)

 

The VA Advantage

Stand out from the crowd

Our Philosophy

The VAAA PM School believes that if our training doesn’t benefit our customer — You, the acquisition professional — then none of us can effectively serve our collective customer — the taxpayer.  Therefore, when VAAA developed this program, our team sought out the most comprehensive approach that serves you, your agency and your internal/external customers.

The acquisition professionals of the US federal government, in this new era of transparency, are now experiencing a host of new demands that have been thrust upon them that standard certifications don’t address in this context.

Our Training

This VAAA PM School certification program allows you to obtain the competencies as outlined by OMB.  Furthermore, the VAAA PM School has developed a program that allows you to acquire the knowledge, skills and abilities that are relevant and appropriate to your role and responsibility as an acquisition professional at an Entry Level, Mid Level or Senior Level position.

We designed a training that allows you to immediately improve your performance on-the-job and a tracking mechanism that allows you to demonstrate your leadership in helping your agency’s improve its organizational performance.
