Our Courses

ORC Training has developed courses in all aspects of the right-of-way acquisition process – appraisal, negotiation, relocation assistance, highway plan reading and project management. Most of these courses can be presented in a web-based format or delivered in half-day, one-day or two-day sessions. View our online courses here

Many of the topics are developed in a modular design and can be customized for individual needs.
