⸻ WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for federal project teams running EVMS.

If you procure training for project controls capability in a federal or DOE environment, this is built for you. Scan the two lists to self-identify.

Organizations

  • DOE national laboratories
  • M&O contractors & FFRDCs
  • Federal project offices
  • Prime contractors & teaming partners

Roles

  • Control Account Managers (CAMs)
  • Project & program managers
  • Project controls staff & schedulers
  • EVMS coordinators
  • PMO & project controls leadership
Best fit: DOE national laboratories, M&O contractors, FFRDCs, federal project offices, and prime contractors seeking scalable EVMS training for CAMs, PMs, project controls staff, EVMS coordinators, and PMO leadership.

⸻ WHO YOU'D BE CONTRACTING WITH

Training built by the people who do the work.

Manta Ray Consulting, Inc. has supported EVMS implementation, baseline maintenance, surveillance readiness, and project controls work across DOE national laboratories since 2007. Its principals bring 50+ combined years of project controls experience.

MRC Academy turns that practitioner experience into scalable EVMS training for federal project teams. The curriculum reflects how EVMS is implemented, maintained, and surveilled in real project environments — not generic project-management content repackaged for federal buyers.

⸻ WHAT YOU CAN PROCURE TODAY

Real, contractable actions now — and a clearly dated roadmap.

Concrete actions you can take now — plus a clearly dated roadmap for what's ahead.

Available Today

No enterprise commitment required to start.
  • Pilot cohort — A scoped, low-risk first step — pre-pilot scoping, active pilot, post-pilot review. A real, contractable action.
  • Self-service demo — The demo environment is on the LMS. Evaluate it anytime — no scheduling required.
  • Custom & live delivery — tailored to a site's EVMS System Description; available to scope today (on-demand or live or virtual-hosted).
  • Project controls consulting — Parent-firm EVMS and surveillance-readiness support, available as a standalone engagement.

On the Roadmap

Planned releases, with target dates.
  • Public Phase 1 catalog — [Beginning Q4 2026] — Following the Phase 1 Bundle release, the module catalog opens for public and individual enrollment, with additional modules added as they complete production.
  • PMI ATP & AACE AEP recognition — [Target 2027] — PMI Authorized Training Partner and AACE Approved Education Provider. PDU / CEU eligibility only after the applicable approval.

⸻ PROCUREMENT PATHWAYS

Ways to evaluate, pilot, and procure MRC Academy. 

Start with a demo, pilot cohort, or scoped deployment, then expand through the procurement pathway that fits your organization.

Engagement Options

  • Start: Begin with the self-service demo or a pilot cohort — neither requires an enterprise commitment.
  • Scale: Move to custom & live delivery or enterprise / catalog access once fit is proven.

Contracting Methods

  • Models: Commercial training services — self-service seat purchase, pilot cohort, subscription, custom-delivery, and enterprise-access models.
  • Payment options: Purchase-card payment may be available for eligible low-dollar purchases, subject to buyer policy, cardholder limits, and applicable procurement rules.
  • Position: Available as prime, subcontractor, or teaming partner depending on the buyer's procurement path.
  • Current pathways: M&O / FFRDC contractor procurement at DOE labs; direct or simplified-acquisition award where applicable; subcontract / teaming.
  • Vehicle strategy: Additional access through partner-held federal vehicles is in development and will be confirmed once available for use. No GSA Schedule currently held by MRC.

⸻ WHY MRC ACADEMY

What your organization gets with MRC Academy. 

Six ways practitioner-built federal EVMS training delivers more value than a generic course catalog.

Practitioner-built

Written by the consultants who implement and surveil EVMS at DOE labs — not adapted from a generic PM course.

Federal EVMS-specific,
with DOE-lab depth

Built for DOE O 413.3B and EIA-748 environments, with room for DoD-adjacent and prime/sub federal projects.

Standards-anchored

Maps to the 32 EIA-748 guidelines and reinforces — rather than replaces — your site's System Description.

Site-tailoring available

Standard on-demand curriculum, or custom and live-virtual / in-person delivery scoped to your environment.

LMS completion tracking

Attendance, completion records, and certificates for every participant through the LearnWorlds platform.

No VPN or special software

Web-accessible through the LMS, administered centrally by your PMO with role-based access. No learner installs.

⸻ DOE LABORATORY PAST PERFORMANCE

Built from deep DOE laboratory experience.

Past performance includes EVMS implementation, baseline maintenance, surveillance readiness, and project controls support across
DOE Office of Science capital-project environments, including work associated with:

SLAC (Menlo Park) · Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory  · Argonne (ANL) · Oak Ridge (ORNL) · Brookhaven (BNL) · Princeton Plasma Physics (PPPL) · Jefferson Lab (TJNAF)

Representative programs (chips): LCLS-II-HE · ALS-U · APS-U · US ITER International (chip): CERN — ATLAS
