"Applied Learning Online allows students to train anytime their schedules allow, which means higher workforce productivity and more effective and efficient learning. Also, there's no travel time or expense, which means less time away from the office and fewer training dollars needed," said Steve Gluckman, vice president of Knowledge and Learning Products at Acquisition Solutions.

"This is true 'just-in-time' learning, based on Acquisition Solutions' vast library of knowledge resources and mature learning content." Gluckman added, "Our clients are excited to see such relevant content presented in an innovative and polished fashion. The format allows all professionals - experienced or novice - to access relevant topics as needed and to move through the learning experience at a pace that is comfortable and appropriate."

AppliedLearningOnline.com currently offers 15 distinct modules designed for professionals in federal acquisition, government contracting and program or project management. Over the next year, 45 additional modules will be released. The modules employ real-life examples to help students retain what they've learned and adopt new work habits. Students complete training at their own pace from any Internet-connected computer, while earning continuous learning and education units toward their extensive continuing education requirements, to maintain certification. 10 units or points toward Continuous Learning/Education (CLP/CEU) and Professional Development (PDU) are earned for every 10 hours spent learning.

Acquisition Solutions specializes in performance-based acquisition and management for federal contracts and programs.
