Because I've spent most of my week responding to folks' emails and messages about our upcoming FCDO Engagement & Capture course, I thought I'd pull together some quick FAQ! So here's what folks want to know:
🤔 How do I know if this course is right for me?
If you think you need it, it's probably a good idea. We designed the course with folks like us in mind - people who are new business development pros, but don't have a deep understanding of the FCDO and how they operate. We have also heard from some folks who were familiar with DFID but haven't touched FCDO proposals that it's a great refresh on what has happened in recent years post FCO+DFID merger.
🤷 Is the course entirely self-paced?
Yes! This means that if you're in the middle of a bid when it launches on May 6th (thanks, USDA), you don't have to worry about missing out. Participants have access to all of the course materials for a full YEAR after registration, so you can also revisit the material when you need it.
🫰 How much does the course cost?
In pursuit of accessibility, we created a tiered pricing structure based on the annual revenue of your organization: $425 if you handle $5m or more a year, $360 if you fall under that bar. We also have financial aid and scholarships available for those who qualify. Simply email learning@bidboss.org if you think you might qualify. BONUS - right now, you can get an extra 10% off registration using the code "FCDO10" at checkout.

😕 What if I have more questions about FCDO after the course?
Don't worry - our instructors also hang out in the Clubhouse community, where anyone can post a question anytime. @Sue Dean will also be offering some special one-on-one sessions only for those who complete the course, where you can go deeper on your organization's concerns.
