Meet Eric

The Guy Behind the Program

I'm Eric, a government contracting educator, business owner, and operator. I've built and managed real contracts, and now I teach what actually works, from getting your business set up the right way to finding and pursuing opportunities.

My Story

Before you start

Resources and common questions.

Still deciding? It's a few quick questions and no calls. If the program fits, your invitation comes by email.

Do I need experience or a company already?

No. You can start with neither. If you don't have a company, your path starts by forming one the right way. If you do, you skip the steps that are already done.

I've already done some of this. Will I repeat it?

No. Your path picks up from what you already have, and a step your records already prove counts as done. You still take the certification exam, because that's what proves you know the work.

Do I need good credit?

No. Credit, funding and banking are optional steps. They are there if you want help with them, and they never stand between you and the credential.

Do I have to get on a call?

No calls. Answer four short questions about where you're starting. If the program fits, you get an email invitation to your portal.

Will this get me contracts or income?

We don't promise contracts or income. You get the knowledge, a company set up the right way and a credential anyone can check. What comes after depends on your work and the market.
