What is Govology?
Govology is an online hub for government market education covering many essential topics in government contracting, from marketing to certifications to accounting systems and much more. Govology training features experienced government market experts with a solid reputation for helping small businesses succeed in government contracting.
Govology training is a valuable supplement to the workshops we at SWCC APEX Accelerator offer year-round. It allows you to learn at your own pace when you have a short break in your busy schedule. One of the unique features of Govology is that they record all of their live webinars and then make them available on-demand to registered users. So, if you can’t make it to the live webinar, you can still watch it later on-demand by logging into your account on Govology.com and navigating to your My Courses area.
Through our partnership, SWCC APEX Accelerator clients can access Govology’s weekly live webinars and their extensive library of on-demand training , free of charge with our special discount code.
Here’s how to get started:
Create a free account on govology.com.
After you register for a webinar or an on-demand course, you’ll start receiving notifications from Govology about upcoming live training events. If you don’t want to receive these notifications, you can easily unsubscribe from future emails.
