The Australian Industry Capability (AIC) Practitioner course aims to foster a broad understanding of AIC requirements across Defence and Defence Industry personnel. Bringing together professionals from both sectors, the course seeks to promote knowledge exchange and collaboration, enhancing the implementation of the AIC Program.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Defence Industry Policy, including how AIC is implemented and applied through the Australian Standard for Defence Contracting (ASDEFCON) framework. The course content has been designed to provide a detailed understanding of the AIC Program and equip participants with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively implement and manage AIC components during the procurement and contract management phases.
The course is delivered via a 2 day instructor led program which aims to create a balanced and collaborative environment. The course is available at various locations across Australia, and virtual course options are also available.
