(ARLINGTON, VA - May 26, 2004) -- ESI International, a leading provider of contract management, project management and business analysis training, is pleased to announce that its new contracting course, CON 100: Shaping Smart Business Arrangements, has been approved by the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) for equivalency to CON 100.
"CON 100: Shaping Smart Business Arrangements, which is equivalent to the CON 100 course presented by DAU, is designed to help government acquisition personnel develop and enhance the skills necessary for making sound business decisions," says Larry Seeley, President of ESI. "This allows those personnel to expand their roles as business leaders and business advisors within their agencies."
Along with ESI's CON 100: Shaping Smart Business Arrangements, DAU has also approved certain ESI courses for their equivalency to DAU's CON 101: Basics of Contracting and CON 104: Principles of Contract Pricing courses. Complete equivalency details are available here.

This includes consulting, targeted training and rapid deployment training, which introduces and describes new policy, best practices and lessons learned. DAU also meets the needs of its Acquisition, Technology and Logistics workforce through the Continuing Learning Center, which provides Web access to training modules. In addition, DAU sponsors acquisition seminars, conferences and knowledge-sharing resources 24 hours a day, seven days a week via the World Wide Web.
