Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any prior government contracting experience?
No. The course starts from zero: forming your LLC, getting your EIN, registering on SAM.gov. It is designed for small business owners who have never touched a federal contract.
Is this a live course or self-paced?
Self-paced. Once launched, you will get immediate access to all modules and can work through them at your own speed. Most people complete the beginner track in 2-3 weeks.
What do I get with ClariFAR tool access?
Every course tier includes access to ClariFAR's compliance tools: FAR/DFARS Q&A, FAR Scanner, Overhaul Tracker, CMMC Self-Assessment, Clause Helper, and the Eligibility Qualifier. These are the same tools used in the course exercises.
Can I get a refund if the course is not what I expected?
Yes. 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If the course does not help you, we do not want your money.
Do I need to form my business before starting?
No. Module 1 walks you through entity structure, and Module 2 walks you through formation. You can form your business as you take the course.
