Training

TRG TRG's courses are for anyone involved in the rulemaking process. These courses provide practical real world explanations of how the regulatory process functions. TRG's courses are essential (required for many Federal agency staff) training for agency personnel responsible for drafting, implementing and interpreting rules. TRG's courses are invaluable for non-government organization personnel responsible for commenting on proposed rules, interacting with regulatory agency staff and navigating the regulatory process.

Most TRG courses are open to the general public and these are listed below. Every month TRG schedules courses in the DC area, and occasionally around the country. You can see the course schedule by clicking the links below. TRG's courses can be held on-site at your agency or organization. In addition, TRG can tailor courses to the specific needs of your agency or organization. For more information about on-site training, click here. Federal agencies can purchase most courses through TRG’s GSA schedule contract. To discuss TRG’s courses please call us at (703) 224-9000 or send us a message here.
