The FAR Bootcamp®

is a hands-on, learn-by-doing, four and one-half day total immersion in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), open to both novices and seasoned professionals in government and industry. There are no prerequisites and no experience is presumed. There are no lectures and no slideshows. Instead of passive listening, there is active practice. Attendees learn how to research, read, interpret and apply the FAR by working through a series of problems of gradually increasing complexity. Available during the past seven years only to Government agencies in specially arranged group sessions, The FAR Bootcamp® is now open to applicants from both Government and industry.
