The role of the contracting officer’s representative (COR) fuse subject-matter expertise with business management and contracting know-how. COR Essentials provides an in-depth study of project management skills, procurement regulations, and each step in the contracting life cycle.

You will develop the skills you need to succeed through workshops.

Each attendee will receive a course manual that will serve as a valuable resource for years to come. Our courseware has been written, approved, and edited by one of our top lawyers so you get current, topical, and relevant information you can rely upon.
