FastTrack Funding for Profit
 - tailored to your company's requirements

 

Are you searching for funding and not sure how to go about it? Do you keep applying for funding and never seem to be considered? Does your institution depend upon funding for expansion and enrichment? This training course will enable you to not only prepare yourselves but also present your capabilities and strengths in the best possible manner.

 

Overview

  • Learn how prepare your organisation in order to spot the funding opportunities that you can confidently apply for.

  • Preparing the proposed solution is always a problem for organisations that do not normally undertake project management. This course provides the basics of project management and how to define the proposed solution to the funding objective.
  • Understand how to identify and mitigate risks found lurking in those invitations to tender documents. IPR’s and copyrights should always be protected and we show you how.
  • Learn about what can go wrong with a bid and how you can learn the lessons for the future.
  • Ensure that you produce a winning proposal that highlights your organisation’s strengths and hides your weaknesses.
