This course delivered valuable information and strengthened my understanding of performance-based acquisitions and PWS development. The small class size allowed for individualized attention and practical discussion, which was appreciated. The instructor was highly knowledgeable about the PWS process and related contracting principles. Her expertise in the subject matter was clear, and she demonstrated flexibility in adjusting the class content and pace to meet the needs of a very small group.
Thank you Steve for providing me with all the information (new/old). This was the best instructor lead course that I've taken in years.
I enjoyed the course and appreciated Melanie's time and effort. Melanie is an excellent instructor and deeply knowledgeable on the subject matter. She made sometimes dry material interesting and engaging.
The instructor was excellent and knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend it to my colleagues.
This class was very interesting and informative. I will be recommending it to my colleagues and using the material in my work. It gave a wonderful overview of all things contracting without getting bogged down in trivial details. Anna was absolutely wonderful! So knowledgeable and able to keep the material interesting throughout the entire three-day class!
I don't need to take this class again, but I would just to absorb more knowledge from the instructor. He was a wealth of knowledge and spoke very well! Well experienced and had an exciting career to speak on that gave him endless examples to use during training. Loved this class! It's very useful to me as a COR 1.
Steven Potts is very knowledgeable and can provide a lot of real world examples.
This was my first time exposed to this information, and the course made it relatively easy to learn. Class content is easy to follow and understand and the instructor is very knowledgeable.
This was one of the better classes I have taken, thank you! The instructor was very knowledgeable and engaging with the class.
Great experience. Instructor was outstanding. Very knowledgeable.
I liked that the class was small (only two participants). It allowed us to go at an accelerated pace and to discuss subjects specific to our agencies when desired. The instructor has extensive knowledge of the subject matter and is able to answer both common and arcane questions regarding acquisition.
Graduate School is where you rise and where your resilience deepens, and your potential expands beyond limits. It's not just a place to learn, it's where you become the most powerful, intellectual version of yourself!
Excellent content - easy to ready modules and addressing important, including new information; exercises and knowledge checks very well structured. Excellent description of the roles of the CO, COR, Contractors.
This 3-day course was great! Very helpful. Content was informational and will be useful when applying to a specific job. My instructor, Melanie, was very thorough and informative.
I truly found this course to be informative and the instructor was amazing. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to another course with Graduate School.
The instructor was engaging and energetic. Good mix of course material with practical, real-life experience. Good use of three days.
Great intro to the basics of government contracting. This course was very helpful to me as a financial manager. The instructor had extensive knowledge, engaged the entire class, and solicited input from everyone. Overall, a good facility that was a relaxed environment for a challenging course.
Instructor had good presentations and kept us focused. Good to have this information in one readable source.
Instructor made a dry topic interesting, helped relate textbox info to our Agency. Great refresher course on what CORs do so I can better help them with issues in our accounting system.
Jeffrey presented the information in digestible sizes. He encouraged and engaged with students and consistently provided ample opportunities to question and discuss. Instructor/student ratio was great. Student engagement was the best. Student experiences were the most beneficial across the board.
Very go to know and learn. Found the instructor very good at his job. Had fun learning.
Thank you so much to Mr. Hysen. I will take any class that he teaches.
Great Class and great instructor. You never know who will be teaching a class when you sign up, so it is is a little nerve-wracking when you log in on the first day (especially for a 5 day class). It was so good to have an instructor who made the days go by so quickly and you felt like you actually learned something each day. I highly the class. And hopefully Robin will be your instructor.
The instructor provided clear clarification of the course's information and delivered with a fair amount of valuable information which made the subjects easier to understand. Her assurance of our gained understanding was highly appreciated. Overall experience was very satisfying.

Completing the Simplified Acquisition Procedures course with Graduate School USA has been an invaluable experience. This course has strengthened my foundation in procurement and increased my confidence as I grow in this career field. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to build or refine their knowledge of federal acquisition procedures.
I felt it was an excellent course and enables me to better understand the back end of information I feel I need to effectively translate my user's needs and language for their issues they submit.
Instructor was great. Very willing to explain and help throughout the course.
