Situation: You're on the hunt for great PM learning deals.
The bright spots in this economy are coming in the form of great deals from leading providers. Two weeks ago, I told you about ESI’s awesome $500K scholarship program for unemployed PMs where they are giving away enough training to get hundreds of folks certified at zero cost.
This week I’d like to call your attention to the MS Project Conference
- For a limited time, the whole conference is $699
- You can mark down 32 PDUs for this conference (formal classroom sessions are commonly $1500 for this # of PDUs. PMI’s Global Congress costs $1,125 in advance, $1370 on site for a similar 3 day PDU opportunity).
- You get MS Office Project Pro 2010 for free with the conference (a gift from Project Management Practice Inc. and Keystone Learning Systems). As we all know, this is a VALUABLE piece of software.
- You’ll get free online training (again from Project Management Practice Inc. and Keystone Learning Systems), which costs $395 List
Think of it this way. If you are planning to upgrade your MS Project software anyway, you might as well buy it here and improve your skills for free. However you think about it, it’s a great deal.
In the interest of disclosure, Microsoft is one of our advertisers and we are sponsoring this conference. However, this is (of course) something I’d write about either way.
