The NCBRT offers delivery of DHS-certified training and services, which are funded through a Cooperative Agreement between DHS and the NCBRT.  Offerings include:

• Course delivery
• Indirect course support
• Instructor development
• Technical assistance

Under the Cooperative Agreement, the NCBRT delivers DHS-certified courses in limited numbers through states, U.S. territories, local jurisdictions, and tribal entities without charge to course participants. 

DHS-Certified Courses:  An off-the-shelf course can be sold using the EDAP process if the course is (1) DHS-certified and either (2) the NCBRT has exceeded deliveries for the year, (3) the state has received its equitable share of deliveries for the year, or (4) the course is being requested by an entity not eligible for delivery without charge.  The EDAP process utilizes a sales and service agreement for whole courses sold to an entity.  Individual participants may purchase a course registration without entering into a sales and service agreement.

Technical Assistance:  the NCBRT can provide DHS and non-DHS technical assistance.  DHS technical assistance would be provided at the request of DHS; non-DHS technical assistance can be sold on an hourly basis. See our extensive Subject Matter Experts page for a list of our skills and expertise.

The NCBRT may also offer project-based technical assistance through either a cost-reimbursable agreement or a fixed-price agreement.  Sales through a cost-reimbursable agreement are based on actual costs incurred.
