VIENNA, Va., July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Centre Consulting congratulates the latest graduates, Cathy Bennett, Jennifer Libby, and Lanette Vela on their completion of the Certified Schedules Contracts Manager (CSCM) Certificate Program.

Lanette Vela, Director of Contracting at McLane Advanced Technologies, has been a graduate of the CSCM program since 2011, but just received her CSCM renewal certificate because of the unrivaled benefits of the CSCM program.

"This training and advanced knowledge has helped me become more efficient in my daily job requirements. I have a better understanding of what reference material I need, what FAR Part to go to first, what Government Website covers what issues, and a lot of time I just pull out a CSCM course study to grab the guidance and give myself a refresher," Vela says of the program. "The variety of subjects covered, along with the diverse classroom of industry professionals that attend, makes it feel like I have received a weeks worth of knowledge in one day. I look forward to taking more classes and continuing to renew my certification!"

Jennifer Libby, GSA Contracts Manager at Emergent, LLC, a brand new graduate of the CSCM program, differentiates Centre from other training courses due to the caliber of instructors.

"The caliber of the instructors in this program is probably its greatest asset," Libby explains. "I appreciated that the program was not based on lectures alone. There was always significant interaction between the instructors and the students, which allowed for meaningful learning and dialogue. Some of the courses I have taken at other institutions were geared toward teaching for a certification exam. Centre's goal is to make you a better informed and more prepared contracts professional, which adds a great amount of value to the CSCM certification."
