This course is needed in the agency for all levels of employees who are part of the PRA process. They need to know about PRA even if their role is peripheral/support.

U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) manager

I first took a course with you 10 years ago and it is by far the best regulatory training I've ever had.

HHS/FDA Regulatory Counsel

Must tell you that all my staff has now gone through your training (except for me) and that it has been invaluable. What I particularly like is that we can now hold our own in conversations with our attorneys! Thank you!

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) branch chief

Perhaps the most rewarding training experience I have had at SSA - absolutely relevant to my work. The instructors were clearly interested in the subject matter and were highly accomplished and enthusiastic. Awesome experience!

Social Security Administration (SSA) employee

Outstanding effort and dedication by all instructors to acquaint the students with the process and parts of rulemaking in a systematic manner. I liked the performance-based exercises to drive the info home. Especially liked the ability to reference the pages in our books while topics were being presented. Well done!

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employee (DOT)

This course makes rulemaking "human" and less intimidating for all levels of experience. Thanks.

Wish I had this 5 years ago!

The course was informative in that it shed some much-needed light on the topic/requirements of PRA. It was like pulling back the curtain on the Wizard of Oz.

Provides an excellent real-world education in regulatory process. I learned as much in 2 days as 1 semester of Administrative Law in law school. I would recommend this course to others with no changes.

Two of the three members of this law firm work directly with regulatory agencies every day—submitting comments to proposed rules or drafting policy or defending enforcement actions. The Regulatory Group's courses provide invaluable information on the laws and processes directly impacting the majority of citizens (whether they realize it or not).

The materials provided are a great resource that I will be able to use long after this course. This was one of the best courses I have attended since becoming a Regulatory Specialist.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) employee

Andrew related the information to real life situations so well. He had amusing stories & scenarios that will really help me remember the topics. He also explained terms & concepts in regular terms to cut down on confusion. This will help when creating regulations & keeping it as simple as possible for our audience.

U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) employee

The instructor was enthusiastic and his anecdotes clarified the material in a way that made it digestible for us non-lawyers.

U.S. Department of State (DOS) employee

Engaging and well paced course. What I liked most about the course was the instructor's broad knowledge of the topics and how they overlap with other regulatory topics.

Instructor was very thorough and well versed in all areas taught. The information was presented in a logical and informative manner.

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employee

I highly recommend taking the Regulatory Drafting and Process 2-day course. Andrew Emery is a very knowledgeable instructor who presents a large volume of dry information in a very engaging manner. This course would be a valuable tool for anyone involved either directly or indirectly in writing, reviewing or interpreting regulations.
