Our Students Say

“I guess the phrase “Boot Camp” implies a beginning or an introduction to VA Schedules, and it is. But it is so much more. No matter how many times we review the basic structure of Government Contracting, we always pick up something that we can use in our day-to-day operation. This course better equipped us to pick up on the subtle aspects of VA Schedules Contracting.”

This was the most comprehensive and clearly presented course I’ve ever attended. The material was understandable and the instructors presented it thoroughly and with great knowledge and advice in Schedule contracting!
