How Federal Sub Academy works
A focused program that turns a working contractor into a subcontractor a federal prime can hire with confidence.
For contractors (subcontractors)
- Enroll. You join the Academy's training program.
- Learn the forms. SF 1413, daily reports, certified payroll, and the supporting documents — taught one document at a time, with examples.
- Practice the process. Work through realistic fill-in exercises on the same kinds of forms you will sign on a real job.
- Graduate vetted. Finish with a working knowledge of federal subcontract paperwork, ready to be hired by a prime that values a subcontractor who already knows the process.
For prime contractors
- Know what a graduate knows. The curriculum is built around the exact paperwork primes require on federal contracts.
- Hire easier. Graduates are easier to hire than competitors because they already understand the paperwork and processes on federal contracts.
- Run smoother. Cleaner daily reports and correct certified payroll mean less chasing and fewer corrections — the prime's life gets easier.
