Training & Readiness

Mission success demands reliable system performance and proficient users and maintainers. Sev1Tech provides hands-on field support, data collection, and full spectrum training capabilities.

Training is critical to mission and warfighter readiness. A prepared warfighter is a safe warfighter. Sev1Tech prepares Airmen and Space professionals with innovative approaches to training and delivers measurable results. At Sev1Tech, we believe the “why” is a critical part of the training and is just as important as the “how” to perform a task. Sev1Tech’s learning methodology builds long term leadership and constructive, critical thinking skills which are retained long after the course is complete.

Mission & Program Support

Government managers are expected to do more with less despite increased regulation and oversight. Sev1Tech marries proven management best practices with in-depth domain expertise in close partnership with our clients.

Effective project management is both a skill and an art as projects become more and more complex and dynamic user needs challenge budgets. Sev1Tech’s in-depth understanding of acquisition requirements, regulations, processes, documentation, and reviews complement the expertise of government program managers to keep projects on schedule and under control. Ultimately, a well-run program will fully satisfy user requirements while making the best use of taxpayer dollars.
