Learn federal contracting from the people who taught the contracting officers.

Courses, webinars and custom sessions for industry teams that want to think like the government.

During more than two decades at GSA our CEO trained thousands of contracting officers and industry partners on how federal acquisitions are planned, evaluated and awarded. Our COO and CSO ran the programs those officers used. RPG training brings that same instruction to your capture, proposal, contracts and leadership teams — without the government jargon filter.

Every session is taught by a former contracting officer or program manager, uses real (sanitized) evaluation examples, and ends with a plain answer to the question everyone has: what does the contracting officer actually want?

Delivered as open-enrollment webinars, private team workshops (virtual or on-site) or custom curricula built around your vehicles and pipeline. Executive briefings available for boards and leadership teams.
