Overview

The roles of the contracting officer’s technical representative (COTR) and contracting officer's representative (COR) fuse subject-matter expertise with business management and contracting know-how. COTR Essentials provides an in-depth study of project management skills, procurement regulations, and each step in the contracting life cycle. Utilizing workshops, lectures, and instructor-led discussion, this seminar lays the foundation for your successful management of government contracts. 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.

Included in the price is a follow-up audio seminar, to get all postclass questions answered after students have returned to the workplace. We are the only training provider to offer this unique opportunity to get your real-world questions answered by one of the legal experts at Centre's Federal Contracting Institute. We get it right the first time so you can depend on it. Plus, get How to Avoid Protests, an instructional handout by one of the lawyers at Centre.
