What's the secret ingredient to mastering the ever-evolving world of government proposals? In a nutshell: Never stop learning. You’ve likely been using ProPricer Contractor Edition or are thinking about starting. It’s the essential tool for your job. But how do you get the most out of it? This blog will briefly introduce you to ProPricer University, the on-demand government contract learning platform where mastery meets flexibility. Let’s make your educational journey enjoyable, convenient, and tailored just for you.?

Own your journey

Remember your first day at a new job? Navigating through a sea of unfamiliar faces, tasks, and, most crucially, software screens can be daunting. ProPricer University understands this and is dedicated to making your life easier from day one. Designed with you in mind, ProPricer University offers self-paced courses that let you learn when and how you want.

Product Manager Estevan Mercado explains, “ProPricer users tend to be very busy. Trying to schedule three consecutive days of live training can be tough. ProPricer University gives them the flexibility to learn the tool on their schedule and at their own pace. They can go back and watch videos, again and again, to fully understand ProPricer Contractor Edition features.”

Flexibility is the name of the game

"Life moves pretty fast," said the wise Ferris Bueller. ProPricer University knows this all too well. The folks developing its learning modules believe in something other than a one-size-fits-all education. Courses are modularized into 'learning sprints,' allowing you to pick what's most relevant to you.?

Plus, ProPricer rolls out new modules every quarter at no extra cost. That means you can update your ProPricer know-how as the software itself evolves. Don’t just stay in the game; stay ahead of it.?

A comprehensive curriculum?

The initial modules introduce you to the ProPricer Workspace Pane and provide a thorough guide to data entry and keyboard shortcuts. Once you're comfortable, you venture into Library Concepts, where you learn how to navigate Direct and Indirect Pool Libraries and Resource-Class Libraries. It doesn’t stop there. Now, you’re introduced to Rate-Table Concepts, Proposal Concepts, and detailed Reporting modules. There’s much more. It’s like having an all-access pass to ProPricer’s functionalities.

The entry-level modules mentioned are the ones users watch the most frequently. “The most popular sections are Proposal Creation and Reporting,” adds Mercado. “We’ve structured our training to empower users to learn from the ground up—or in any order they choose. Our Proposal Creation section focuses on users learning to build a proposal in ProPricer from just about nothing.”??

Learn and apply?

Let's consider a real-world example to demonstrate the practicality of the courses. Imagine working on a government contract requiring stringent cost analysis and budgeting. Your understanding of Rate-Table Concepts can guide you to set up Direct and Indirect Rates more efficiently, reducing the time spent on this task from hours to minutes. This hands-on approach gives you the tools to implement learnings directly into your workflow.?

Track, measure, & celebrate progress

You can't manage what you can't measure, right? ProPricer University offers a digital progress overview so you can keep an eye on your journey. Earn badges to measure your accomplishments and get a comparative summary of how you're doing against your peers.

“Who doesn’t love a little motivation and competition?” adds Mercado. “Badges give users a sense of completion, and our leaderboard allows users to challenge each other while still learning the product. Gamification makes learning fun and helps motivate our users to be the best ProPricer users. Both were important to us when we were working to create this learning platform.”

ProPricer University is also available through the Talent LMS mobile app for those who love learning on the go; download it from the Apple App Store and Google Play.??
