...or, at least have some FUN in our famously student-friendly classroom.
Join nationally-recognized (google him!) speaker Bill Smith for this energizing delivery of the official Introduction to CMMI-DEV v1.3 course, at our upscale training center near Washington, DC.
Bill has averaged a stellar 4.9+ (out of 5) feedback rating while teaching Intro to CMMI-DEV over 122 times (yes, really!) to over 2218 students - more than anyone else in the world! His onsite CMMI training classes at 52 organizations including AT&T, Lockheed Martin, the IRS, and the Department of Homeland Security have earned rave student reviews and multiple customer awards. |
| YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH A TRUE APPRECIATION FOR THE CMMI -- NOT JUST AN "UNDERSTANDING." |
A Carnegie Mellon alum and former IBM developer, Bill combines 33 years of management and engineering experience with practical insights and a delivery so passionate he's featured in the 2016 book Tickers: What Makes People Tick! And Pursue a Career They Love! He's also been voted the Software Engineering Institute's Outstanding Member Representative, and has won several awards at industry conferences.

| ANY INSTRUCTOR CAN TALK TALK TALK FOR THREE DAYS. WE MAKE SURE YOU ACTUALLY LEARN. |
So the choice is yours: sit like a freakin' zombie for three... whole... days... in that boring guy's course and walk away confused and sleepy, or see rock'n slides and actually GeT eXcItEd about the CMMI in our famously student-friendly classroom. (We even play game shows!) Find out firsthand why "Bill's realistic perspective... and his enthusiasm are contagious."
