Virtual, Instructor-Led Training
Overview
Virtual instructor-led training is online training that uses the latest innovative technology to create a live, online classroom in which students can ask questions, interact with instructors and chat with classmates all from the comfort of their own home or work computers.
Virtual instructor-led training programs from PMCentersUSA provide a high-value, cost-effective method for busy professionals to train. Short class sessions and the ability to create individualized programs provide unmatched convenience and flexibility. Our exceptional courseware and instructors provide the same quality of training offered in a traditional classroom environment without the inconvenience and expense associated with travel and time away from the office.
Benefits
In addition to providing quality, industry-aligned project management and business analysis training without geographic limitations, students have the added value of learning from the real work experiences of their classmates and instructors. Virtual instructor-led training programs save time and money, fit easily into any busy schedule and are worth PDUs with the Project Management Institute (PMI) and PDs or CDUs with the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA).
All of our instructors have many years of extensive, hands-on project experience and bring a broad range of expertise and real-world knowledge to the classroom. Our instructors put principles into practice by building break-out sessions, streaming videos and relevant group exercises into every course.
