Why You Should Become a Certified Proposal Writer

Early in your career, you can waste months trying to learn how to write winning proposals. Despite your efforts, you’re lost because you:

  • Lack of a formal background in proposal writing
  • Find courses that don’t focus on writing skills, only theory
  • Don’t have insider tips on proposal formatting

To help you become a better proposal writing professional, we went down the rabbit hole to understand what it takes to build successful proposals. We interviewed thought leaders within the industry, learned the habits of successful proposal writers and documented our experience writing winning proposals. Empowered with this knowledge, we’re helping students become successful proposal writers.

The Proposal Writing Certification Course is for aspiring proposal writers who want to generate revenue through proposals. In this program, we teach the fundamentals of proposal writing, how to write a great proposal, how to format proposals, and how to get proposal-writing clients.

  • Over 70+ lectures, 10+ downloadable grant writing templates, and exclusive interviews (more added over time) with grant writing professionals in the industry
