The CAPAC ’Deliver’ course examines the skills and techniques used within defence acquisition to turn strategic decisions into the delivery of military capability. By the end of the course, you will be able to understand the relationships and processes associated with the delivery of military capabilities within the Defence Operating Model.
The course is an interactive, online programme delivered by Cranfield University that brings together personnel employed in CAPAC management across the Defence Operating Model.
The course requires you to download and review pre-recorded lecture material from the Cranfield University Virtual Learning Environment each day and engage in live online seminars, tutorials and exercises hosted on Microsoft Teams to practise and consolidate skills and knowledge acquired.
The course is free to all UK military personnel and MOD civil servants.

You will examine project, programme and portfolio management, requirements management, systems engineering and other well established bodies of knowledge which are critical to delivering value for money to the MOD.
The aim of the CAPAC practitioner courses is to enable military and civilian staff from Head Office, Front Line Commands and enabling organisations to acquire an understanding of the MOD’s capability, acquisition and financial management processes, and their application in the development and generation of affordable and strategy-compliant force structures and capabilities.
The CAPAC practitioner courses build on the learning acquired from the Capability and Acquisition Fundamentals online training. Successful completion of this course will further develop your capability and acquisition knowledge and skills and set the foundation to become one of the next generation of leaders and managers that deliver military capabilities to the front line and support them through life.
If you successfully complete the course you will be awarded the CAPAC ‘awareness’ education competency. This training will facilitate progression to practitioner level and the opportunity for line managers to award of the FKSE ‘Practitioner’ competency through the annual reporting system.
