SEI Introduction to CMMI - May 18-20, 2010

"I loved the creativity, humor, instructor stories, inventive and unique activities... I will actually retain the information long-term..."
[student comment from our Sept. 2009 public class in Reston, VA]

OUR INSTRUCTOR IS THE 2010 OUTSTANDING SEI MEMBER REPRESENTATIVE!!

Join nationally-recognized speaker Bill Smith for this engaging and entertaining (!!!) delivery of the official SEI Introduction to CMMI, at our spacious new training center just outside of Washington, DC.

Bill has averaged a stellar 4.9 feedback rating while teaching this course 47 times (yes, really) to 818 students. His onsite deliveries at organizations including AT&T, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, 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 two years. [CMMI for Services, Lean, and Small Settings track (2009), Practical Guidance track (2008); NDIA CMMI Technology Conference and User Group]

Plus... it doesn't stop once class is over. All attendees of our classes are invited to join our members-only Alumni Club, CMMI Rocks! Personally connect with students from your class and dozens of others. Only our alumni may join, pose classroom follow-up questions on our forum, and attend exclusive alumni-only events.

So, please just say no to death-by-slide. Learn the SEI CMMI the right way: from a process improvement veteran with a real-world, practical perspective -- and a dash of humor, to make sure you're awake!

	2. Guaranteed low price. Our $1290 price is more than 25% off the competition's standard tuition. Find a lower price? We'll match it. [Some restrictions apply.]
	3. We love travelers. Over a third of our students come from out-of-town. We make it easy on visitors, with discounted room blocks at local hotels and free shuttles to and from our training center.
	4. Our training center rocks! Literally. Starting with the foot-stompin' music you hear as you walk into class. We'll keep you energized with food, fun, and more.
	5. Boatloads of experience. Bill has delivered the SEI Introduction to CMMI course 47 times to 818 students at 35 locations across the country. [Thru April 2010.]

	8. We practice what we preach. We have our own internal CMMI-based improvement initiative. (See our popular CMMI for Services Diary.) We stand behind the intelligent and practical use of the model.
	9. Win free stuff! Our giveaways of sometimes relevant, sometimes wacky prizes help to enliven your SEI CMMI training.
	10. Earn PMI credit. Our three-day CMMI course may be worth 25 Professional Development Units (PDUs) toward Project Management Institute (PMI) Continuing Certification Requirements.
