The Practitioner programme is a technical contract management qualification.

The structured learning programme comprises of 15 modules. It features subject matter-led online workshops, complemented by a couple of Q&A ‘drop-in' sessions. These are held over 24 weeks.

The Expert programme is a nationally recognised, strategic level development and accreditation programme, with 23 modules (with eight further strategic modules topping-up the initial Practitioner programme modules). The programme is suitable for anyone who works on large (gold) higher-profile, higher risk contracts as part of their role, it is a blend of individual learning, subject matter-led online workshops, online group discussion, and Q&A ‘drop-in' sessions.

The contract classifications of silver and gold follow the Government Commercial Organisation classifications and Contract Management Professional Standards.
