ES-5040: Consulting Skills

This course will address the spectrum from responding to a Request for Proposal (RFP), as well as a Request for Qualification (RFQ), to managing a project within budget and on time and producing a robust consultant’s report/documentation. In addition, guidance will provide how to manage project staff and build relationships with potential sub-contractors. Students will learn how to establish a billing rate and bidding a price for services rendered. Tips will be given on how to best market one’s service, which changes if the work is new to the consultant’s portfolio versus if there is a track-record for a specific type of work product.
