Yes, we also do CMMI appraisals and consulting!
Join nationally-recognized (google him!) speaker Bill Smith for this engaging and sometimes entertaining delivery of the official SEI Introduction to CMMI for Development v1.3, at our totally cool training center just outside of Washington, DC.
Bill has averaged a stellar 4.9 feedback rating while teaching Intro to CMMI 65 times (yes, really) to 1151 students [thru 12/2011]. 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 for three... whole... days... 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."
Enroll with confidence today... Leading Edge has never cancelled a class, unlike (ahem) many others who deliver CMMI training. Reserve your seat while there's still room!

The Top 10 Reasons
to Choose Us
|
1. Dynamic instructor. Bill Smith -- noted speaker, award-winning trainer, and info-taining blogger. Bill makes the CMMI real, with his practical observations and engaging delivery.
|
|
2. Guaranteed low price. Our $1350 price is up to 23% off that boring guy's standard tuition; save up to 29% with our special group rates. 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 links to local hotels and area activities.
|
|
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 65 times to 1151 students at 39 locations across North America. Including onsite deliveries at 4 of the top 6 U.S. defense contractors.
|
|
6. We don't cancel classes. We won't "name names," but some other companies cancel class if they don't get enough attendees. They're obsessed with break-even points, and apparently they believe that's a sound business practice. We disagree.
|
|
7. Our unique bonus material. Proprietary bonus slides supplement the SEI material. Optional lunchtime jam sessions allow us to explore areas not covered in detail by the course -- like SCAMPI appraisals.
|
|
8. We practice what we preach. We stand behind the intelligent and practical use of the model, and we're slowly but surely applying the CMMI (for Services) within our own small company.
|
 |
9. Win free stuff! Our giveaways of sometimes relevant, sometimes wacky prizes help to enliven your SEI CMMI training. And what other vendor gives you caffeine-laced lollipops to help get you through the more "challenging" parts?
|
 |
10. Earn PMI credit. Our three-day CMMI course may be worth 25 Professional Development Units (PDUs) toward the Project Management Institute (PMI) Continuing Certification Requirements. Here's how.
