DCG CUSTOMIZED TRAINING

Hourly Rates depend on complexity level of content

There is no Minimum/Maximum Number of participants

In-person or Virtual Training

DCG provides scalable user, customized training for different complexity levels, beginning, intermediate, and advanced. We provide in-person training as well as online training via webinars and virtual training.

This allows for an unlimited number of participants. DCG staff meet with Stakeholders to discuss requirements, goals, objectives, and technology needs. A training plan is then created to begin development of curriculum and training technologies. Each training plan addresses content requirements, technology’s intuitiveness, strategies, couch marks, visuals, training modality, and e-learning materials. DCG works with our customer to help them learn how to effectively use the technology and its features. Training focuses on single interactions experienced by the user as well as primary user tasks and atypical interactions.

Training Portals

DCG routinely posts and launches newly developed training materials, as well as updates to the training portal(s). We use content management system templates and best practices to create workflows, wireframes and mockups. These products show the layouts of navigation elements and the placement of major page elements, such as headers, footers, and content areas. DCG documents all training portal updates and activities.

Training Materials

DCG creates training material in accordance with the training plan and customer requirements. Training materials may include hard copies, or a: 1) User Manual, 2) Quick-Start Guide, 3) FAQs and 4) Multimedia component, e.g., Web slide show, PowerPoint presentation, etc. for on-line training. These materials comply with Section 508, VA, VHA, and VA Mobile branding and style; privacy guidelines, and adhere to the Veterans Health Education Health Literacy standards for education material.

SERVICE CONTRACT LABOR STANDARDS (SCLS): The Service Contract Labor Standards, formerly the Service Contract Act (SCA), is applicable to this contract as it applies to the entire Multiple

Award Schedule and all services provided. While no specific labor categories have been identified as being subject to SCLS due to exemptions for professional employees (FAR 22.1101, 22.1102 and 29 CRF

541.300), this contract still maintains the provisions and protections for SCLS eligible labor categories. If and/or when the contractor adds SCLS labor categories/employees to the contract through the modification process, the contractor must inform the Contracting Officer and establish a SCLS matrix identifying the

GSA labor category titles, the occupational code, SCLS labor category titles and the applicable WD number. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the contract.
