Do You Need DITAP? FAC-C-DS Requirements for Digital Services (Webinar)

Buying digital services is different, and federal acquisition professionals are increasingly expected to lead procurements that support agile delivery, human-centered design (HCD), and faster modernization outcomes.

Join Bruce Gay, an analytics and communications instructor at Graduate School USA, for an informational webinar that provides a clear, practical overview of the Digital IT Acquisition Professional (DITAP) training program—an immersive, cohort-based development experience designed to help acquisition professionals strengthen digital acquisition capabilities and earn the FAC-C-DS (Digital Services) credential.

During the webinar, you will learn who DITAP is for, what the program experience looks like, the expected time commitment, and what you’ll be able to do differently after completion, especially when managing digital services contracting efforts that require deeper technical and vendor oversight skills.

Whether you’re exploring DITAP for the first time or preparing to manage higher-impact digital services contracts, this session will help you understand the pathway, the expectations, and the practical benefits.
