Course description


Aligning proposal content with evaluators' scoring criteria ensures that your proposal addresses customer needs, builds confidence in your solution, and maximizes evaluation scores, improving your chances of winning federal contracts.

Creating compliant and compelling content is critical to presenting strong, persuasive solutions that meet customer expectations. Effective technical writing supports both compliance and persuasion, which are essential elements in a competitive proposal.

This course is designed to build your technical writing skills to develop compliant, persuasive proposal content that strengthens your submissions and enhances your organization's competitiveness.

A bright yellow, vintage-style typewriter with a blank piece of paper inserted sits on the right side of a light gray surface. To the left, three crumpled pieces of white paper are scattered. Above the typewriter, a yellow light bulb hangs from a yellow cord, suggesting an idea or inspiration.
