Five Bucks a PDU,What?

 

I was reminded of a good reason to participate in local PMI chapters today - sometimes they have relationships with training companies that have great offers.

I'm going to hold to my practice of not giving free advertising, but I will give the URL and name of the provider to anyone who sends me a message.  I will also tell you that the company is an REP with PMI, and here are the online PDU courses they currently offer:

* Ethics in Business and Life
* The Work Breakdown Structure
* Team Leadership
* Increasing Personal Productivity

Sure, 3 of the 4 don't scream Project Management, but they really do relate, and they are $5 PDUs.  Unless you can be selective or can't handle one more course on Ethics (I had to take 3 between my BS and MBA), they all cover material beneficial to current and future PMPs.

Once you purchase a course you have 90 days to complete it. I went ahead and purchased all 4. Even if I only spend 2 hours a week on the classes I will be done in plenty of time.

My account has not been set up yet, so I can't tell you what I think about the training.  However, I confirmed with the vendor that the pricing is their new, permanent pricing, so if you're not in a hurry I'll be posting my opinion about the training as I work through it.
