To keep pace with constantly changing standards and procedures, state - of - the - art tools and the latest best practices, MCR offers cost-effective, tailored, practical courses in strategic planning, cost / schedule analysis, acquisition management and program assessment. These four core competencies are taught by a staff of highly qualified subject matter experts who average more than 25 years of direct, hands-on experience in their fields.

Since its inception, the MCR Training Institute has trained more than 2,000 internal staff and professionals from government and industry. Today, training is provided in three mechanisms. The first is a publicly available seminar which is designed to meet a broad spectrum of training needs. The second is a “tailored” course based on your specific needs. We spend time learning about the requirements and challenges of your programs and about your staff’s knowledge level. Our training materials are built not as abstract textbooks, but as how-to manuals. The third is a combination lecture/workshop environment, designed to address a case study of your choosing. Regardless of the mechanism you choose, your staff learns exactly what they need to learn—based on examples and tools that are relevant and useful to them—and training is scheduled where and when you need it.

Customization

To prepare your employees to assume more responsibility, prior to teaching a course, we spend time learning about the specific requirements and challenges your programs face and your staff's knowledge level. This allows us to make sure each course covers:

• Exactly what your people need to learn;
• Where this fits in with what they already know; and
• What examples and tools will be most relevant and useful.
