Course Description

One of the major gaps in effectively carrying out the procurement process is cost estimating. The reason it is a gap stems from the realization that it must be done but how do we do it? This three-day workshop will close this knowledge and skill gap by briefly, yet completely explaining the why, what, how, where and when. In addition, connections to the selection and administration phases will be emphasized. This class counts toward the FAC-COTR or FAC-P/PM Certification.
