I am a beginner, will the training be suitable?
Yes, the courses are deliberately aimed at any level of experience and any sector. The content has been designed to be non-complex and easy to follow
I have been bidding for a while, will the training be suitable?
Yes, the courses are aimed at any level of experience. We have had people attend who have been bidding for up to 10 years. They have found it very useful as it has helped open their eyes to new ideas as well as reaffirming some of the things they have been doing and seeing they have been doing them correctly. For a lot of people, they have never had any formal training and they have had to "feel" their way through things. The training can help cement things and give a different way of looking at things.
Which course is best for me?
If you are only involved in bid writing, then the 1 day course. If you are involved in more elements of the process, are new to bidding or want a wider view, then the 2-day course would be suitable. The 2-day course also incorporates the bid writing training
With the online courses, the bid writing day starts at 9 and finishes at 3. The 2-day course starts at 9.30 and finishes at 3.
For the face-to-face courses, the bid writing day starts at 9.30 and finishes at 4. The 2-day course starts at 9.45 and finishes at 4.
Will it help me win bids?
Being totally open and honest, as much as we would like to say "yes, of course", it is about how they apply what is discussed on the course. We will go through areas that will help you produce better bids. It is down to you to apply these areas to their bids. It will certainly put you on a good path, if they follow it.
How many people will be on it?
With the online courses, up to 8 people.
For the face-to-face courses, up to 10 people
