The course was well organized, the instructor knew and presented the material well and the physical setup was great.  I&#8217;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.&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><img class="size-full wp-image-259 alignright" title="istock_000008333208xsmall" src="http://www.offpeaktraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/istock_000008333208xsmall.jpg" alt="istock_000008333208xsmall" width="407" height="191" />As you probably have noticed by the scarce amount of blog entries on this page, this blog is new. Our plan over the next year is to share our knowledge with you. Let’s talk a little bit about how this blog is going to work. I guess we can do that by stating what this blog will not include: long, boring corporate blabbering. It will include: News, Software Reviews, Security Trends, Project Management and Training.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><strong>News:</strong> Upcoming training courses, seminars, and events that Off Peak Training will host or attend. As well as hot topics that Off Peak Training Corporation finds interesting enough to share with our customers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><strong>Software Reviews:</strong> What can I say? We are software people. We like using it and we like critiquing it. Why are we so critical? Well let’s just say engineers are making good money to make our lives easier. I like my life being easier and I think engineers deserve a fair trial. The software that we will review on this site is the software that we use on a regular basis, business productivity software. I know it sounds boring, but with a little luck we might actually perk your interest and save you some time by not having to evaluate the product yourself. We do not endorse any products. We may however recommend a business productivity tool if we like it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><strong>Security Trends:</strong> This can be a pretty fun topic. It can be boring too, so we will make every effort to keep these posts caffeinated. We collectively have a fairly strong background in Information Technology and happen to really like it. Chris Schulz is by far the security expert in our group and we will rely heavily on his input in the arena.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><strong>Project Management:</strong> We love project management. Chris Talmont and I had the opportunity at a past employer to travel the world helping a wide variety of industries initiate, execute and control their projects. Some of our favorites were the auto industry, construction management, and a beloved fruit company located in Cupertino, California. By hopping from industry to industry we were able to cross pollinate business best practices. It is amazing how much you can learn by teaching. We made every effort to share best practices.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><strong>Training:</strong> Lastly this blog will include free training. (What did he just say?) Yes folks, f r e e training. What kind of training you ask? Let’s just say that if we offer an instructor led course on a certification or application then we will most certainly offer some freebee lessons online.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">So please come back and visit our blog. We promise to have new postings at least monthly. I know that is not enough. How about bi weekly? You know that means every two weeks and not twice a week right? So there you have it. That is where we will start and hopefully we can deliver some valuable content for you. Please feel free to comment directly to a post if you have some feedback. If you would like to request we evaluate a product please contact us using the Contact Us page.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Thank you so much.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Nicholas Hartigan &amp; the Off Peak Training team</p>
