In-Person DGS Certification

.

The Department of General Services (DGS) certification can open doors to contracts with state and local agencies, providing a pathway for significant business growth. This certification demonstrates that your business meets the requirements to work with the State of California.


This workshop is geared for those wanting to do business with the State of California. Getting Small Business (SB) certification through the Department of General Services (DGS)—such as the California DGS—gives small businesses a massive competitive edge when bidding on lucrative government contracts. It unlocks exclusive bidding preferences, streamlined contracting opportunities, and financial protections.


Hands-On Certification:

This is more than just a workshop; it's a hands-on certification course designed to get you contract-ready. DGS experts and trainers will guide you through the process in person, helping you gain the certification you need to pursue opportunities with state and local agencies.

Limited Availability. 

Space is limited to 30 participants. This ensures personalized attention and maximizes your chances of successful certification. Don't miss this chance to gain a competitive edge!

To participate you MUST register in advance. Limited capacity and registration will close when we reach limit.
