"I loved the creativity, humor, instructor stories, inventive and unique activities... I will actually retain the information long-term" [student comment; see more.]
PLEASE NOTE: The three-day SEI Introduction to CMMI for Development v1.3 introduces fundamental CMMI concepts not covered in this Services Supplement, and is a strict pre-requisite for this class.
Join nationally-recognized (google him!) speaker Bill Smith for this engaging and entertaining delivery of the official SEI Services Supplement for CMMI v1.3, at our spacious new training center just outside of Washington, DC.
Bill has averaged a stellar 4.9 feedback rating while teaching SEI-Certified courses 76 times (yes, really) to well over 1200 students. His onsite deliveries at more than 25 organizations including AT&T, Lockheed Martin, the IRS, and the Department of Homeland Security have earned rave reviews and multiple on-the-spot customer awards.
Always professional, yet occasionally amusing, Bill has won Outstanding Presentation at the world's largest CMMI conference each of the last three years.
Plus, it doesn't stop once class is over: all graduates are invited to join our free, exclusive Alumni Club, CMMI Rocks! Personally connect with over 240 of our CMMI-savvy grads, ask follow-up questions on our forum, and attend special alumni-only events.
So the choice is yours: sit like a freakin' zombie in that boring guy's class, or actually GeT eXcItEd about the CMMI in ours. Find out firsthand why "Bill's realistic perspective... and his enthusiasm are contagious." [October 2009 student comment]
Enroll with confidence today... Leading Edge has never cancelled a class, unlike (ahem) many others who deliver CMMI training.
REGISTRATION ENDS AT 5 PM EST ON THURSDAY, MAY 31, OR WHEN CLASS IS FULL
