SSOE Offers Free PM Training to Clients and Staff

For anyone new to the project management role or anyone else who would like a formal refresher, SSOE is offering a two-day “Fundamentals of Project Management” workshop. This workshop is interactive and includes small group exercises, large group discussions, and instructor explanations. Participants will learn the five process phases of Project Management and how to apply them to projects.

This course follows best practices for Project Risk Management as outlined by the Project Management Institute (PMI®). In addition to SSOE employees, all clients (and future clients) are invited to attend free of charge.

In related news, SSOE recently sent a group of 20 through training for the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam. This certification is the formally recognized standard for project management expertise. PMP certification requires three years of PM experience with at least 4,500 hours spent leading and directing tasks. Participants from this program took the certification test in April and will receive certification in May.
