Join the Global BidMaster™ Programme
The ultimate professional curriculum in the bid/proposal space
It is the most comprehensive, most advanced, and most engaging training and certification programme for bid and proposal professionals.
Participants learn effective strategies for preparing and submitting winning proposals. They get practical tools to manage any bid process, ultimately leading to more successful and competitive bid submissions. The BidMaster™ framework provides methods, tools and structures to cover the entire proposal process, from RFP analysis to document production, from proposal office installation to proposal presentation. It enables Bid and Proposal Teams to work more efficiently while winning more deals.
The programme combines the cost benefit of a typical web-based solution with the advantages of an on-site training. As opposed to other typical online training concepts, it provides interactive access to a real trainer delivered over the web. This means participants can resolve issues in real time and comprehension and retention is increased. To compensate with the potential disadvantage of the fact that you might not be able to attend the session, we record all webinars for you so that you still have access to the same content, too.
