HOW TO REGISTER
FAITAS
The Federal Acquisition Institute Training Application System (FAITAS v2.0) is a new online registration system that launched on May 31, 2011. The Treasury Acquisition Institute will be transitioning the FY12 Course Catalog registration to FAITAS in the near future. You will receive notification of new registration procedures upon completion of the transition to FAITAS. FAITAS will also be the system of record for the Federal Acquisition Certification Programs for Contracting, CORs/COTRs, and Program and Project Managers. At this time, all members of the acquisition workforce subject to these certification programs and using FAITAS to register for courses, must create a profile in FAITAS. To create a profile, go to http://www.fai.gov and click on the FAITAS v.2.0 link. Until FAITAS is available for TAI registration, the TAI course registration process will remain as follows:

REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION
You will receive a confirmation via email or fax within five business days of receipt of your request. If you do not receive a fax or email confirmation within five business days, please call Donald Guy at 202-283-1292.
You are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. However, do not make travel arrangements until you receive your fax or email confirmation of registration.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
You are required to attend all scheduled days of your course. If you have to be absent from any portion of the course, notify your supervisor, instructor, and a TAI staff member. Significant absences from the classroom will be reported to your supervisor and may result in your not receiving a certificate of completion. Cumulative absences of instructional time may be grounds for failing the class. If you miss extended periods of class time you are required to make-up class work before receiving a certificate of completion.
WITHDRAWAL, SUBSTITUTION AND CANCELLATION POLICIES
If you are unable to attend a class for which you are confirmed, please send us an email routed through your supervisor no less than two weeks before the class start date (30 days for classes with pre-course work such as CON 120 and CON 353). An unexcused cancellation from the same course could result in failure to re-register for that course for a period of 3 months.
Your office may substitute a participant by having the substitute participant complete and submit a signed registration form. We will enroll the substitute in the class only if there is not a waiting list. Substitutions are allowed up to the class start date. Supervisors are required to approve any change requests.
If TAI cancels a course for any reason, we will make every effort to notify all confirmed participants. When we contact you, we will be happy to discuss enrolling you in a future session.
WAITING LIST
Because of the popularity of our program, many of our courses fill quickly. When we notify you that the session you requested is full, please let us know if we should place you on the waiting list. If space becomes available, we will contact you.
DRESS POLICY
The dress policy is casual business attire. Shorts, caps, tank tops, athletic sweat suits and flip flops are inappropriate. For your comfort, we highly recommend you bring a jacket or sweater.
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS
It is the responsibility of your manager to arrange reasonable accommodations (i.e., interpreter for hearing impaired) for the individual. All requests must also be included on the TAI registration form. Once accommodations have been made, please contact either Donald Guy at (202) 283-1292 or Rewa Houston at (202) 283-4873 so the instructors can be notified.
WEATHER RELATED CONDITIONS
The Treasury Acquisition Institute’s operating status is the same as the operating status for Federal Employees in the Washington, DC Area. To check operating status in the Washington, DC Area go to the OPM website: http://www.opm.gov/Operating_Status_Schedules. If the Federal Government is closed, TAI is closed. If weather conditions prevent you from attending class, we will be happy to reschedule you in a later session.
When weather-related absences affect significant segments of the course, the instructor determines if the missed material will be rescheduled. If you do not complete the prescribed make-up, you will not get credit for any part of the course.
