DATMS & CSOD Help


Acquisition workforce members from across the 4th Estate often ask: "How do I register for training?"" The simplest answer is to log into the Defense Acquisition Talent Management System (DATMS) at https://www.atrrs.army.mil/DATMS, navigate to My Career | (DAU Training) Apply for Training, and follow the instructions.

Understanding whether your certification training is instructor-led (ILT) or virtual instructor-led training (VILT) -- both types of training which were universally referred to as "resident training" in previous years -- or online training is helpful prior to registration. All online DAU courses are now offered through DAU’s next-generation learning management system called Cornerstone On Demand (CSOD).

  • If your training is a fully-online offering through CSOD (for example, ACQ 1010), you will be redirected from DATMS to the CSOD site to complete the registration process within CSOD.

  • If your training is an ILT/VILT offering (for example, ACQ 2030 or ACQ 2030V), the registration process will continue to take place within DATMS.

  • The resources below provide additional guidance for common DATMS and CSOD-based tasks. If you have additional questions on how to utilize the various functions within the DATMS system, please contact your Agency's DAWIA POC.
