COR Essentials

Description:

This course is intended for two audiences: beginners seeking to qualify for a Level I Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) Certification; and those needing a refresher course. Regardless of your situation, this course will familiarize you with the key concepts and processes to enable you to perform the tasks required of a COR. (See below for an explanation of COR training requirements.) Government contracting is extremely broad and complex. In this introductory-level course, we will concentrate on the “big picture,” not the details. In government contracting, as in all specialized bodies of knowledge, there are exceptions to every rule. For the purposes of this course, we will focus on the rules, not the exceptions. Thus, you will see “typically,” “usually,” and “in general” used throughout the Participant Guide. This course will familiarize you with the most important laws concerning government contracting. For better comprehension, it explains the laws in context, rather than simply listing them. The Participant Guide is designed to facilitate your critical thinking, understanding, and problem-solving. It poses discussion questions for you to answer. It also contains a Contract Monitoring exercise and a post-test. Those seeking their Level I COR Certification must complete the test to successfully complete this course. Those taking this course as a refresher may opt out of taking the test.
