EVMS and Project Management Training

We Bring the Real-World to Your Training

---

We are an experienced provider of training disciplines in the federal government and public sector. Our staff has broad experience in the evaluation of training requirements, design of comprehensive training plans, curriculum design, development of client-centric instructional material, and the presentation of multi-tiered training workshops.

Our consultants have a rich history of lecturing for project management associations and institutions such as the College of Performance Management, NDIA Program Management Conferences, and George Mason University. We have provided EVMS instructional offerings to the NRO, NGA, DOE, HHS/CMS, pharmaceutical companies and numerous industry partners.

Our instructors are the same individuals working day-to-day on client projects. They bring up-to-the-minute, real-world experience into in-person and remote learning scenarios.

Samos Advisors provides training programs to compliment our service offerings. We provide training for all levels, from from novice to expert  users. Our programs are designed to meet the needs of anyone in your organization tasked with supporting projects, programs, IDIQs, EVMS, and PMOs.

Our training programs can be tailored to meet your company or individual goals and objectives and can be shortened or lengthened depending on the maturity of the organization and resources. We use case studies, classroom exercises and student quizzes to ensure recall and comprehension of the training material.

For clients requiring CAM certification training, we provide a comprehensive test at the end of the training course and a certificate of completion for those students that achieve a passing grade of 80% or higher.

Our training programs conducted at your location(s) provide a valuable and effective method.  We also provide remote training. Sessions can be recorded for future recall.
