  * Custom, On-Site Training
 

Custom, On-Site Training
All of our programs can be tailored for private on-site training.

If your in-house government relations pros don't have time to train, our custom training can give your staff a leg up and help new people fit into your Washington operations.  We design each custom training program to meet your educational and training goals, and then select faculty who can best meet those objectives and who are best suited for your attendees.

We have tailored hundreds of private on-site training programs for agencies, Congress, military, law and lobbying firms, unions, foreign delegations, associations and corporations that show how Washington works.TM   For example, many associations and coalitions rely on us to increase the effectiveness of their annual Capitol Hill Day programs.

Custom training from TheCapitol.Net is unique:

Our materials--We provide both training and publications that show how Washington works. Our publications were designed to be used as course materials in our programs and as reference tools. Each attendee leaves our programs with the knowledge they gained from the course plus valuable reference materials for the future.

Our faculty--We have more than 150 faculty members who are all independent subject matters experts. We are able to design a program and select the best faculty member for each session.

See our Sample Agendas for a few examples of programs tailored for our custom, on-site clients, and see what our clients say about our custom on-site training.

Our Portable Wi-Fi ClassroomTM is available for your custom program.

   Capability Statement (1-page pdf)

We help your staff and members better understand Washington and Congress. TM

For more information about how our custom training can increase the effectiveness of your organization, please contact our Client Liaison.
