Applied Learning Online™ provides instant access to a robust suite of targeted online learning modules in federal acquisition, contracting, COR and program management, ideal for meeting continuing education requirements of FAC-C, FAC-COR and FAC-P/PM, and certification requirements of FAC-COR. Brought to you by the creators of the Virtual Acquisition Office™ (VAO), Applied Learning Online™ features videos of— and online reach-back to— the esteemed instructors of ASI Government's Training Institute™, who have been delivering high-value classroom training to the federal government for over a decade.

"ALO provides an incredibly cost-effective means to educate an agency's entire workforce, just-in-time and with no travel expenses. We developed this solution in direct response to our clients' requests for training solutions that are high quality and high impact, yet reasonably priced, a necessity in the current economic environment. At a fraction of the cost of educating the workforce in a traditional classroom setting, this solution is already resonating well with our federal clients," noted Steve Gluckman, Chief Knowledge Officer and President of ASI's Knowledge and Learning Products division.

Featuring a comprehensive library of online acquisition, contracting, COR, and program and project management learning modules designed to be taken in one- to two-hour increments, ALO is ideal for meeting rapid learning, application and continuing education requirements.  

Modules feature a series of short sessions, online resources, exercises and leading practices and can be customized to include agency policies and procedures.  Reach-back to live instructors adds an additional measure to ensure understanding and appropriate application of the concepts learned.

"We have learned that while there are some processes that apply government-wide, each agency has unique requirements that are specific to them. Customizing some or all of ALO's modules allows agencies to leverage the best of what we have already created, while also enabling an agency-specific training solution," commented Catherine Poole, Executive Director of ASI's Knowledge and Learning Products division.

ASI's Schedule 70 contract currently includes ASI's Virtual Acquisition Office™ (VAO) subscription service, a web-based knowledge and productivity service in widespread use across the government. Honored with a 2011 Apex Award for publication excellence for its Daily News and suite of insightful publications, VAO also includes an on-call acquisition help desk, acquisition checklists, samples, templates, and other resources designed to expand the knowledge and productivity of the federal acquisition community.  

ALO complements the array of resources provided with VAO and is available as an upgrade to VAO or as a standalone subscription.
