The Office monitors issues of concern to public officials through a variety of means including our technical assistance and bid protest program and the results of management and other reviews of public programs, agencies, and operations.

Staff develop courses with the assistance of an advisory board.
One lead person works with a team in developing the curriculum and identifying instructors. Written materials, lectures, exercises, and audiovisual aids are developed by the team.

Seminar evaluations and examination results are regularly reviewed for quality control. Issues, if any, are reviewed with the instructor and strategies are developed to ensure that the problem is addressed.
