HR Magazine, June, 2003

KnowledgeNet Inc. has launched a new business skills training course, called "KnowledgeNet's Project Management Professional Certification Live." The training course uses a ground-breaking delivery method, which combines the quality and interaction of instructor-led class-room training with the convenience and cost reductions of web-based training. Unlike other business skills training solutions, which are essentially "canned" self-paced courses, the KnowledgeNet PMP Certification course will be moderated live by instructors who have years of hands-on experience in project management procedures. The certification course is designed for experienced project managers who are seeking project management professional certification; however, less-experienced managers who may have had no formal training on the concepts of project management also may enhance their skills with this in-depth course.
