About the workshop
Essential skill primer for APS professionals involved with contract management and procurement.
Whether you are procuring and managing contracts for services, asset acquisition, policy advice or service delivery, this is the workshop for you. This program will not only enable you to be compliant with the Commonwealth Procurement Rules (CPRs), but also demonstrate enhanced value-for-money in your procurement and contract management.
It's great to attend good training. It’s even better to translate good training into changed actions and behaviours in the workplace. Experiential learning approaches are fully applied in the design and facilitation of this program to help you achieve this. Real-life experiences, better practices, tips and tricks will all be identified throughout the program through interactive activities.
Walk away with confidence, and competency to add value to your department.
