LP wird PMI Registered Education Provider

Winterthur, Switzerland – Locher & Partner Informatik und Projektmangement AG today announces it is now approved by Project Management Institute to become a PMI Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.) effective April 2011.

PMI R.E.P.s are educational organizations that have demonstrated that they are capable of providing world-class effective project management training.  Through PMI’s rigorous quality criteria for course content, instructor qualification, and instructional design, R.E.P.s provide the project management training necessary to earn and to maintain Project Management Professional (PMP)®, Program Management Professional (PgMP)® and other PMI professional credentials.

In the early stages of implementation project team members need to be gradually trained on existing EPPM software in order to ensure efficient cooperation and communication. For this purpose LP offers standardised trainings that provide basic as well as advanced product knowledge.

“Our trainings help users to gain PMI knowledge and to efficiently leverage it in state of the art project management tools” stated Rolf Locher, Director of the company.

“PMI’s recent survey of training providers shows that 80 percent of organizations seeking suppliers of project management training strongly prefer to work with PMI R.E.P.s. They view their affiliation with PMI, as the leading standard-setting professional association for project management, as a stamp of quality on the training services they purchase,” said Edwin Andrews, Ph.D., director of academic and educational programs and services at PMI. “Organizations want to protect their investment in project management training, and they know that a PMI R.E.P. delivers such training in a cost-effective and efficient manner.”

Currently, there are over 1,400 R.E.P.s in more than 70 countries. These organizations include commercial training providers that design complete educational systems, academic institutions, internal training offices at corporations and government agencies.
