I am applying for a position that has grant writing as one part of the job description. This course is very good at outlining the steps involved and explaining how to accomplish them.

By Roderick Peet on 10/23/2020

Excellent overview of grant writing. I knew nothing about it before I took the course. Now I could write a recognizable grant proposal. With a little practice I could write a great one.

I thought the class was excellent. just the right information. Not too long, yet with enough detail to start going after grants.

Training material was just as recommended for grant writing...specific, concise, relevant and most of all achievable. I feel less intimated by the process of grant writing after taking this course.
