About TheCapitol.Net Non-partisan training and publications that show how Washington worksTM
For over 30 years, TheCapitol.Net and its predecessor, Congressional Quarterly Executive Conferences, have been training professionals from government, military, business, and NGOs on the dynamics and operations of the legislative and executive branches and how to work with them.
Our
training and
publications include congressional operations, legislative and budget process, communication and advocacy, media and public relations, testifying before Congress, research skills, legislative drafting, critical thinking and writing, and more.
TheCapitol.Net offers practical legislative, budget, research, communication, and media courses, seminars, and workshops showing you how Washington works. TM
Seminars and workshops discuss the legislative and budget process, congressional operations, public and foreign policy development, advocacy and media training, business etiquette, writing, and our Capitol Hill Workshop. All of our courses include course materials and evaluations.
Topics include the legislative and federal budget process, congressional operations, best practices for congressional testimony, research, writing, advocacy and media training.
We can present any of our courses, seminars or workshops--or any combination of topics--at any location and tailor each to meet your educational objectives. All of our custom courses are taught by independent subject-matter experts and include written agendas and course materials.
When you or your staff can't travel to Washington, DC to attend a live course, you can still learn from our expert faculty by listening to our Capitol Learning Audio Courses.

Visiting Washington, DC
Our Visiting Washington, DC pages have links to all the major places to see and visit in Washington. Plus some you may have not heard of.
We do not provide free research, and we believe that all students should write their own papers on topics they have chosen or been assigned by their teachers.
We will not pass along any messages to any member of Congress - one of the many great things about living in the United States is that we, and you, can contact our government representatives directly, with no interference from third parties; see our FAQ, "How to Contact Congress." Remember, communication that is courteous and civil is far more effective than communication containing insults and threats. And, although some people do not believe it, elected members of Congress DO listen to their constituents.
