*** THE REGULATORY GROUP :: Testimonials ***

Since the early 1980's The Regulatory Group, Inc., has taught courses on regulatory drafting and the regulatory process. Federal agency rule writers and reviewers from almost every agency in government have attended our two-day courses: Regulatory Drafting & Process and Advanced Regulation Drafting.

Here is what participants say about our courses:

Must tell you that all my staff has now gone through your training (except for me) and that it has been invaluable. What I particularly like is that we can now hold our own in conversations with our attorneys! Thank you.!

Perhaps the most rewarding training experience I have had at SSA - absolutely relevant to my work. The instructors were clearly interested in the subject matter and were highly accomplished and enthusiastic. Awesome experience!

[Social Security Administration employee]

Outstanding effort and dedication by all instructors to acquaint the students with the process and parts of rulemaking in a systematic manner. I liked the performance - based exercises to drive the info home. Especially liked the ability to reference the pages in our books while topics were being presented…well done!
