McBride Consulting Group is APMG’s First North American Accredited Training Organization for Earned Value Management
September 26, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada... McBride Consulting Group Inc. (MCGI), a Project Management consulting and training company, has become the first organization to be accredited by APMG-International to offer Earned Value Management certification classes in Canada and the US. The Earned Value Management qualification addresses the needs of organizations and independent Project Managers who want to improve their planning, measuring and control practices.
Peter McBride, owner and lead trainer of MCGI, led his company through a rigorous training and review process which assessed organizational and trainer readiness. Mr. McBride is a certified PMP® as well as a certified EVM specialist.
"Earned Value Management offers organizations a superior planning and controlling metaphor. It integrates Scope, Time and Cost control with planning, organizational structures and Risk Management to improve our ability to measure what is happening and to see and respond to change sooner." said Mr. McBride. "This management philosophy and its value to good project management are recognized by every major international Project Management organization today, around the globe. PMP's, PRINCE2® Practitioners, and IPMA certificate holders all recognize Earned Value as an important component of any PM's training and professional toolkit."
"We are delighted to welcome McBride Consulting Group as an APMG Accredited Training Organization for Earned Value Management" said Ronn Faigen, General Manager of APMG-US. "MCGI has a long history of project management training, both in North America as well as Europe. They bring a wealth of experience and expertise to all of their consulting and training engagements. We are excited that they have chosen to add our Earned Value Management certification to their portfolio of offerings."
