PMP Exam Prep Course Feb. 17 - 18

 

Apply for the PMI Leadership Institute

PMI is now accepting applications for the PMI Leadership Institute Class of 2005. This valuable year-long leadership learning experience is designed to develop, utilize and mentor a growing corps of well-trained organizational leaders.  It is divided into six learning segments, each one building upon the others.  Participants meet three times a year, initially at a stand-alone seminar in August 2004.  They then meet again during the March 2005 PMI Leadership Meeting, and again in conjunction with PMI Global Congress 2005 − North America.  Participants also engage in virtual learning through audio-conferences and Web seminars.  Application materials and additional information are available on the PMI Web site http://www.pmi.org/.

PMP Registry Now Available

You can now find out who’s a PMP through the online PMP Registry, which contains the names of all active Project Management Professionals (PMPs).  Anyone interested in knowing if an individual is a PMP in good standing (or to check your own record…yes it does work!) can access the Registry by entering the individual's last name where indicated.  View the new PMP Registry at http://www.pmi.org/.

If you’re looking to pass your PMP certification test in the next few months, then we’ve got a deal for you.  Noted project management trainer Frank Saladis returns on the February 17 and 18 to teach his two-day PMP Exam Preparation Class.

The PMP Exam Preparation Class reviews the nine Knowledge Areas and the five process groups (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Controlling, Closing), as well as Professional Responsibility.  You will receive practical information that you can apply immediately to your own project work environment.  The following is a brief synopsis of the course:
