Changes to Contracts Training:
Because of the changes to the procurement laws that will be implemented on January 1, 2013, we will not be providing anymore training for the remainder of this year (2012). Effective January 1, there will no longer be personal or purchased service contracts – just “services” contracts. All of the contract training is going to be restructured and new classes will be offered. We will post the new procurement training requirements and classes when they are finalized.
If you have any questions regarding contract training, please contact the DES Agency Contracts, Consulting and Oversight team at des.contracting@des.wa.gov.

This is where you will find the new fall training catalog. To login to the LMS you will need to fill out the pre-authorization form shown below and submit it to the service center. Once your account is created you may login to the LMS and register for OFM available classes.
