CAM Interview Training


CAM Interview Training to Improve your EVMS Reviews

CAM Interview Training helps Control Account Managers (CAMs) prepare for government reviews. It’s similar to the interview portion of an EVMS Mock Review, both aim to achieve favorable government review. You can choose from two versions of this training:

  1. Full Interview Simulation: A realistic mock interview with immediate feedback.
  2. Coaching-Focused Training: More mentoring, less assessment. Ideal before a Progress Assessment Visit, Validation Review, or Compliance Review.

CAM Interview Training Benefits

  • CAMs are better prepared and more confident
  • Teams can fix potential issues before the actual review.
  • Training helps identify and resolve systemic weaknesses.

What You Get

Our CAM interview training sessions are run by government review experts, who are well-versed in the nuances of post award activities. They know what questions to expect, how interviews are conducted, and how CAMs should respond.

After the sessions, each CAM receives a detailed recap, identifying what went well and citing specific actions for developing technique. We also provide management with a summary of CAM performance, systemic issues, and actions for the group.

Optionally, we'll test CAM EVMS knowledge both before and after the interviews, to gauge the effectiveness of the interview training.

We Service the Whole Program Lifecycle

Many contractors don’t have the time or experience to run effective CAM training. SMA does. We bring deep insight from experts who have served as government reviewers.

What sets us apart is our lifecycle perspective. We're not just focused on one review. We’re the program lifecycle company. Our team looks beyond the immediate assessment to help you strengthen your entire approach. While we train CAMs to succeed in interviews, we're also setting the framework for future programs. Every session is a step toward long-term improvement, preparing your team and your company for scalable growth.

We deliver practical, honest feedback. We help you pass the next review. And position you for what comes next.

Full Range of EVMS Services

SMA does more than training, we actually do EVM. If your implementation needs additional support, we can provide it. Additional EVMS services include: EVMS gap analysis, CAM certification, system evaluation, implementation planning, and custom training.
