Contracting Electives

Once you have your contracting certification, you will need courses to maintain it. To keep your certification fresh and to learn new areas essential to your position, we recommend using electives.

At BMRA, there are over 70 electives, of varying day length, which fulfill the needs of agencies, and help you get those necessary Continuous Learning Points (CLPs) to maintain your certifications. Whether you want to learn about what goes into a cost estimate, how to apply various negotiation techniques, or just need a quick refresh on simplified acquisition procedures, the topics covered by BMRA courses are sure to meet your interests or needs.

BMRA’s elective courses allow you to broaden your contracting skills, while meeting DAWIA or FAC-C requirements for recertification.
