PMP Certification Testimonial


PMP Certification “Off Peak Training’s course was extremely helpful in helping me learn what to expect for the PMP exam and in guiding me as to how best to approach it and ensure my success. One of the greatest benefits is that the instructors gave me typical situations and tips, strategies and approaches that gave me a lot of confidence. I had taken it before and hadn’t passed so they sat me down, gave me some great info and I felt like hey ’I can do this!’ I’m managing a few projects and will be sending one of my employees to take their course. Both my boss and myself felt it was important. He feels it’s important for people to “get it.” If I had to describe the course and what I got out of it in one word, I would say ‘outstanding.’ “

Urban Dare DC – Breast Cancer Awareness


Urband Dare DC - Off Peak Training

Off Peak Training is excited to announce our participation in this year’s DC Urban Dare! Urban Dare is like a one-day Amazing Race with teams of two racing around the city using a list of clues to lead them to various locations. At each location, the teams must complete a “dare” (a challenge) in order to proceed to the next area. Off Peak Training has assembled a series of teams that will be competing on April 17 for the chance to proceed to the Super Dare and compete in a 3-day race on a cruise ship for a $5,000 prize.

The proceeds from this year’s Urban Dare will be going towards the fight against breast cancer. Off Peak Training understands that breast cancer awareness and research is vital to women everywhere and is thrilled to be a part of an event that will not only raise money and spread awareness, but is an opportunity to have fun while doing it. We care deeply for our friends, family, and followers and encourage everyone to help support the cause.

Off Peak Training would especially like to thank the IT Security and Project Management Professional community for their support. Please be sure to check out photos from Urban Dare following the event on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/offpeaktraining

PMP Training Testimonial


Paul Steinhauer_PMPWithout Chris Talmont and the Off Peak Training Bootcamp training there is no way I would have been able to successfully pass the PMP certification test after 5 days of prep-time. Your structured program helped me quickly understand and quickly interconnect the many pieces of the PMBOK® manual/process – and that information stays with me today – 2 months later.

Thanks!

Testimonial


Dennis Leister_PMP“I took the Off Peak Training PMBOK Version 4, 5-day bootcamp training in August. The course was well organized, the instructor knew and presented the material well and the physical setup was great. I’ve done dozens of trainings similar to this, so I can speak from experience. Going into the course, I had not yet completed my application for the PMP nor scheduled a date for the exam. The weekend following the course, I submitted all the paper requirements on line. Within the specified time, I got my approval from PMI to take the exam. I scheduled the exam immediately and passed on Sept 4th. So 19 calendar days start-to-end. For me, this compressed, trainer-led format worked best. I recommend Off Peak Training to anyone wanting to build a solid foundation for taking the PMP exam.”

PMI-SP® – Scheduling Professional


OPT-PMI-SP-Logo2In 2008, the Project Management Institute (PMI®) released two new credentials to its family of certifications. These credentials are meant to complement previous offerings, such as the PMP®, and recognize subject matter expertise in a specific knowledge area.

They include: PMI-SP® – Scheduling Professional and PMI-RMP® – Risk Management Professional

The PMI-SP® is a versatile certification ideal for both new project schedulers lacking the experience required to obtain a PMP®, as well as experienced project managers wanting to highlight their expertise in the knowledge area of project scheduling. The PMI-SP® focuses on the development, maintenance, analysis, and communication of the project schedule to the project team. In order to be eligible to take the exam for the PMI-SP® you must meet one of the two following sets of requirements based on experience and education:

    A high school diploma or international equivalent.
    5,000 hours of scheduling experience within the last five years
    40 education hours completed with a certified educator.
    - or -
    A bachelor’s degree or international equivalent.
    3,500 hours of scheduling experience within the last five years
    30 education hours completed with a certified educator.

Earlier this year, Off Peak Training became the first training provider in the United States to have a PMI-SP® course registered under the PMI Registered Education Provider program. We are pleased to announce our first public PMI-SP® Exam Preparation course in November 2009. Two levels of the course will be offered:

Level 2 – Provides 24 hours of education to prepare students for the PMI-SP exam. This course is intended for students who already possess a PMP® or CAPM®. It will be held over 3 weekend days (11/14, 11/21, 11/22).

Level 1 – Provides 32 hours of education to prepare students for the PMI-SP exam. This course is intended for students who do not already have a PMI® certification. It will be held over 4 weekend days (11/7, 11/14, 11/21, 11/22).
