Seminar Overview:

The ABC Project Management Institute (PMI) is developed by experienced contractors and Kirk Alter, a nationally recognized subject matter expert with decades of project management experience. This course is designed specifically to meet the needs of today’s contractors.

This highly interactive rapid paced course focuses on project management essentials using real and relevant examples and case studies. Participants will obtain the management tools and skills needed for individual success and a positive impact to their organization while gaining a comprehensive understanding of successfully handling all aspects of project management.

This program is 80 hours of instruction in two non-concurrent 40-hour sessions with an interim period between classes for applied assignments and reporting. Classes are in session from 8:00 a.m. through 9:00 p.m. and include a welcome dinner and a closing graduation banquet.

Participants must attend both weeks of the session to complete the course. Class size is limited to 24 participants to provide an interactive experience and to allow the instructor to be fully available to the attendees.
