About These Courses

Government Contracting

Understanding government contracts and knowing how to obtain them can be very helpful to a small business owner.

Several free online courses are offered by the SBA to help prospective and existing entrepreneurs understand the basics about government contracts.  These self-paced courses are easy to use and understand.  They will take about 30 minutes to complete.  You, however, can exit a course at any time.  Because most of the courses offer audio explanations, it is recommended that your computer speakers be turned on.

Before entering a course, you will be prompted to complete an online registration form.  The registration process is simple, asks only a couple of questions and will take less than a minute to complete.

• Business Opportunities: A Guide to Winning Federal Contracts
