This online course provides professionals with all the information needed to plan and organize the issuance of subcontracts. The approach taken is that subcontracts should be managed as self-contained projects. Instruction also covers how to develop an effective subcontract management plan and how to prepare a successful request-for-proposal using subcontract management teams.
Topics include subcontract management development; organizing subcontract management teams; developing subcontract management plans; writing effective requests for proposals; contract types and incentives; negotiating with subcontractors; managing and controlling subcontractors; and keeping subcontractors on your team.
A comprehensive and practical instructional approach using case studies and exercises is used to illustrate the application of sound project management principles for managing subcontractors.
For Online Sections of this course: Online courses are largely self-study with instructor support through threaded discussion groups, email and sometimes scheduled online chats. Some instructors may allow students to pace themselves following the published syllabus, enabling them to accelerate through the material and finish early. However, all students must complete and submit all assignments by the schedule end date. Grades are issued for the entire class approximately two weeks after the scheduled end date.
