Our approach aims at the participation of the trainees themselves in the learning process as well as their ownership of the learning process. In our training sessions participants acquire know-how by doing and by sharing ideas, experience and knowledge with other trainees and not simply by listening to how things ought to be done.

These sessions are varied in nature and take the form of: brainstorming sessions, practical exercises, guided discussions, assignments, and simulations.

A Blended Approach to Learning

We do not believe that all project staff requires the same skill set training or that a generic training program is the solution. That is why we have created a diverse, customizable curriculum that enables development organizations to choose only the competencies applicable to their environment.

We give organizations the ability to “target the learning” for faster, more effective results. We can reflect your organization's current skills, processes and methodologies so participants walk away with training they can truly apply back on-the-job. Your staff gains only the knowledge they need - how they need it.

Many of our courses feature action learning; a well-tried method of accelerating learning where the experience is structured around actual work situations that participants must complete and apply in their jobs. Our facilitator presents the techniques and skills needed, the participants discuss the alternatives and come up with a solution they will monitor and measure to track progress and success throughout the project. The facilitator teaches them the skills "just-in-time," and in the context of the actual tasks they need to accomplish.

The best way to gain knowledge is to learn from the experts. Our instructors are experts in their field and know the realities of today's development environment. Participants leave the classroom learning approaches they could only have acquired through years of experience.

And the learning doesn't stop there. After completing a course with PM4DEV we offer online mentoring. Participants have the opportunity to contact us with real world issues they are having trouble resolving, and one of our experienced instructors will help guide them through the resolution at no additional charge.

Contact us for additional information on PM4DEV's customized learning solutions including courses on project management information systems, project leadership, managiing high performing teams, and more.

Each PM4DEV curriculum includes a high level of support:

• An online Student Center that provides additional resources.
• A quarterly professional newsletter filled with practical tools and ideas.
• A Q&A section in our intranet site that will give you guidance and many tips to help manage your current projects.

Each PM4DEV course kit is delivered in a carry-all bag containing a binder with a note pad, additional study material, articles, and a CD containing the material for the course, ebooks and practice exams.

Each participants will receive a Certificate of Completion and access to our intranet site were they can obtain additional reources and participate in online discussions with our experts to ask questions and obtain further guidance to help them implement the skills learned in the course.
