Government Contracting Classroom

Did you know the US Federal Government buys nearly $100 billion worth of goods and services from small businesses each year?

Government contracts can offer significant opportunities for small businesses, but selling to the government requires a very different approach than selling to the commercial sector.

SBA has created a series of free online contracting courses designed to help prospective and existing small businesses understand the basics about contracting with governmental agencies. So whether you’re just getting started or looking for ways to compete more successfully in the government contracting marketplace, check out the courses below.

Featured Courses

Before entering some courses, 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.

About These Courses

These self-paced courses are easy to use and understand. Each one will take about 30 minutes to complete, and you can exit a course at any time. All of the courses feature audio explanations. Please make sure your computer speakers are turned on.
