“I believe everyone should attend this course because the skills learnt can increase personal productivity in geometric proportions. I have, and will continue to, recommend this program to professionals who are involved in management activities and wish to maintain high efficiency with near-zero defects. The learning environment was perfect and was always ignited by warm participants and facilitators.” – Ugo Nwosu, Ajegunle.org Project

“I can confidently say the program is an investment both in time spent and exposure. I do not regret having or made the decision. This is for anyone who is looking to create opportunities. With the PMP global possibilities are endless.”- Michael Leramo, Huawei

That’s what some of the participants of Adroyte’s PMP/CAPM Exam Boot Camp for July 2009 thought! Here’s another opportunity for you to learn, prepare for your exams and also discuss with other project managers in an environment that promotes learning and sharing. Join us for the next PMP/CAPM Exam Boot Camp for 2 weekends this September (19th, 20th, 26th and 27th). Seats are limited and cost of training (including your copy of the Crosswind Certification Exam Manual based on PMBOK 4, coffee break, lunch, etc) is N90,000.

The Project Management Professional (PMP) certification is the world’s leading project management certification offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). Getting a credential like PMP boosts your career and positions you for growth. Adroyte’s PMP/CAPM Exam Boot Camp provides the requisite knowledge needed to develop your career as a successful Project Management Professional. The training comes with the following advantages:

• It delivers more than the 35-hour PMI contact hour requirement to qualify for the PMP exam;

• Provides real help with exam accreditation; giving helpful insights and a real template to complete the experience required to qualify for the exam;

• Introduction to Microsoft Project software;

• Practical Project Management tips including practical pointers on how to develop project management documents;

• Post training support in the form of a PMP community to help develop your project management skills.

• We know what has changed from PMBOK 3 to PMBOK 4. So, you have nothing to worry about!

As part of our commitment to delivering high value and give you the best all-round project management training, we will be giving out a FREE copy of the Crosswind Certification Exam Manual based on PMBOK 4 at no extra cost outside the training fee. The new book is worth N20,000 and contains an exam simulation CD to help with your preparation. The book will also serve as a reference material after you have become a PMP.

Training discussion topics include:

• The Five Process Groups: “Project Management: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing”;

• The Nine Knowledge Areas of Project Management: Integration, Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, Human Resources, Communications, Risk, and Procurement;

• Professional and Social Responsibility and Framework;

• Introduction to Microsoft Project.

Always special
The date of the first cry
Hopefully very far from the last smile
With all memories in between

Celebrated in many ways
Across many cities
Sometimes, with really loud sounds
And others, with more dreams than cakes

What is it with time
That days roll into years
But the journey towards vision
Brightens even the darkest of days

Three decades and two years
Looking back brings a rush
Pleasant. Tears. Shock. Laughter. Assurance.
Looking ahead… excitement!

She walked in 191 days ago
And that makes today different from others.
Temilade, thank you for the 7 things
That make my birthday a day to thank you!
