Tailored Courses

GAI currently conducts Tailored Courses for more than thirty federal departments and agencies. They are arranged by the agency for a group of their employees, and focus on the legislative issues and congressional committees and subcommittees with jurisdiction over the agency's programs.

Most tailored courses are four days in length, although some are as short as one or two days. The size of the groups range from twenty to fifty-five.

Tailored courses can also be designed for nongovernmental organizations or associations.
