TSI’s Project Management Discussion Blog

TSI has been making changes to our course curriculum for the past several months.  We continue to revise our offerings to provide you with the Ultimate in project management training, PMP Certification and services.

TSI is re-introducing classes for PRINCE2 in the fall of this year.  We have November class dates available for both PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner exams.

TSI is exhibiting (again) at the PMI Global Congress in Orlando.  Our booth will be setup October 11-13, 2009.  We would enjoy meeting you at the Congress this year.  Look for our booth and our exclusive promotions and discounts for the show!

Perhaps the most important thing to some of you is this:  TSI has recognized the budgetary pressures you are feeling as individuals and as organizations.  In response to these continuing economic pressures, we are lowering prices for all our PMP Certification Courses – Ultimate PMP Exam Prep products effective immediately.   Our Fall Sale Price for the Ultimate PMP Exam Prep Course saves you $400 from our normal low price.  We now have two versions of our Online PMP Exam Course – starting at $197.  And we have lowered our Ultimate PMP Self Study Course to our lowest price ever:  $279.

Our goal is to provide you, our customer, with project management courses that meet the market needs.  If you would like to provide any feedback to me on this blog or other information, you can contact me at:  tim.bergmann@truesolutions.com.

Thanks for listening.

TSI recently introduced a whole group of new products to address studying for the PMP Exam for the PMBOK Guide Fourth Edition. We are working hard to develop additional new products for PMP certification candidates and for experienced project managers who already have their PMP or other project management certification.

TSI is re-introducing classes for PRINCE2 in the fall of this year. These classes are intended for the experienced project manager who wants to learn new information about project management best practices. For the experienced project manager who wants to attain a new certification, or for the project manager who needs PDU’s to maintain an existing certification.

TSI will be introducing courses for the International Association of Program and Project Management (IAPPM) certifications this fall. We are going to start with the CPM (Certified Project Manager) course and add additional courses after that.

TSI has been named the exclusive delivery arm for project management courses developed by the AT&T Project Management Center of Excellence (AT&T PMCOE). These courses will be short webinars intended for the project manager who wants to sharpen their skills.

But one thing is missing in these plans – your input. Hence, the title of this blog entry: “Can You Hear Me Now?” We would very much like to have your input on what types of learning experiences you want us to develop for you. If you have a particular course, or a particular need; if you want your courses provided to you in a particular format, please, let us know.

Our goal is to provide you, our customer, with project management courses that meet the market needs. To provide any feedback, you can contact me at: tim.bergmann@truesolutions.com.

Thanks for listening. I look forward to hearing from you too!

Parade magazine (in your local Sunday newspaper), recently printed an article on “5 Steps to Take if you Lose Your Job”. This article was written by Gerri Willis from CNN and had five very concise suggestions for action in case you find yourself unemployed.

Hundreds of thousands of people are currently unemployed.  These five steps (paraphrased) are simple and critical to seeking re-employment.

1. File for unemployment
2. Consider looking for a job that is lower than your current position
3. Get retrained
4. Fill the gap with contract work
5. Find other sources of money – like a 401K, education funds, etc.

Getting retrained might be the key to looking for a new job.  Project Management can help you in your new job search and in your new career. 

Your job search is a project that is best managed by establishing and documenting goals and performing a systematic series of processes or events to move you towards project completion – your new job or new endeavor.

Project Managers are still in the “top 10” of sought after job skills in most industries.  Project management is recognized as a skill that enables efficiency within organizations and enables success.  Project managers are needed, especially in dire economic conditions.

TSI has project management training classes monthly in several geographic locations that would allow a person with no experience to get trained in project management AND get an entry level certification – the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®).
