Simplified?

This week I am taking a course in "simplified acquisitions" - how to purchase supplies and services for the federal government. When I'm through, I'll be able to buy stuff for our unit. How long is the "simplified" course? Five days 8 am to 4 pm. How thick is the "simplified" manual? About 5 inches thick. And yes, there is a course in "advanced simplified acquisitions" but I think I'll skip that one. I'm not even going to think about taking "complicated acquisitions".
