All courses that may be taken to meet Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) certification requirements are included in this Appendix. The USD(AT&L) has designated certain courses that provide knowledge required to perform particular duties specific to an assignment. These assignmentspecific courses are presented in Chapter 3. Each checklist explains the flow and relational aspects of the standards. Mandatory standards are indicated by an open box or, when options are available, by an open circle.

Where no standard exists for an element, the box is filled in black. (See legend at the bottom of this page.) The checklists incorporate other information useful for determining how the standards may be met. Personnel Data System (PDS) codes used to track training in automated personnel
