Start CSK's Global BidMaster™ Program (Spring 2025)
The Global CSK BidMaster™ Program
The ultimate professional curriculum in the bid/proposal space
Spanning 12 weeks, this comprehensive program covers the entire BidMaster™ framework and contains loads of hands-on examples and best practice guidance to develop winning proposals.
The BidMaster™ framework provides methods, tools and structures to cover the entire proposal process, from RFP analysis to document production, from proposal office installation to proposal presentation. It enables Bid and Proposal Teams to work more efficiently while winning more deals.
The program combines the cost benefit of a typical web-based solution with the advantages of an on-site training. As opposed to other typical online training concepts, it provides interactive access to a real trainer delivered over the web. This means participants can resolve issues in real time and comprehension and retention is increased. To compensate with the potential disadvantage of the fact that you might not be able to attend the session, we record all webinars for you so that you still have access to the same content, too.
