After learning the basic elements of price and cost analysis, students receive instruction on how to build and defend a Pre-Negotiation Objective, including a minimum and maximum pricing objective with a Weighted Guidelines Assessment. Students also learn how to defend pricing objectives by practicing face-to-face negotiations.

By attending, you’ll learn how to:

Identify the Government’s Pricing Objective
Review an Independent Government Cost Estimate
Apply Price-Related Factors
Review General Cost Principles on Allowability
Evaluate Direct and Indirect Costs
Determine the Applicability of Cost and Price Analysis
Practice Cost and Price Analysis Techniques

Attendees receive instruction, a printed Student Guide to be used back on the job, valuable handouts, and exclusive web-based resources. A complimentary breakfast is served each morning, along with snacks throughout each class day.
