“The EVMP® course is presented in a way that integrates the target knowledge into each participant’s current working knowledge base. There are plenty of hands-on, practical exercises with immediate feedback. The classroom discussions create information sharing between subject matter experts (SME). There are also opportunities to form study groups and the instructor is available before and after training sessions for as long as is needed/productive. It is truly possible to take away as much knowledge as you can possibly absorb. Concerning presentation, content, and instructor competence [Professor. Kwaku Akyeampong, EVMI® President was my instructor]; EVMI® is far ahead of the rest and sets a new standard of excellence”. “The most valuable aspects of the EVMP® course for me are the: The Stakeholder Matrix – Managing Stakeholders; Professor. Kwaku Akyeampong’s EVMATOM® Matrix for tracking and managing project tasks; and most valuable, the lifetime relationship established with EVMI® for onsite visits, and future mentoring. EVMS implementation seems nearly instinctive to me now.”
