Department of Human Services | Training on DHS Third Party Contracts

The DHS Contracting Fundamental Training Modules were developed primarily to provide training for DHS Contracting Staff. The modules were also developed to promote consistency throughout DHS departmental components' contracting units.

It was decided that our DHS Contracted Provider Community could also derive a benefit by accessing these tools. The Modules are considered a basic level but nevertheless are considered essential and foundational.

Please refer to the applicable policies in the DHS Contracting Manuals, the Contract Policy and Information Manual (CPIM) and the Contract Reimbursement Manual (CRM) for a more thorough understanding of the material.
