I am not going to reinvent the wheel. I had on my list to write to the Helium title “Finding project management training courses”. I’m looking over the rankings, and I find it surprising that the #3 ranked article is actually the most comprehensive of all 3 articles. It was written by E. Allen Barkum.
I’m thinking over what I would do differently. For one thing, I might shy away from the prices. Prices change, after all. I would probably rewrite the first paragraph to be a little more grabbing. I would include hyperlinks to the organizations I mentioned.
Other than that, I would stress webinars more. They are usually pretty cost-effective (sometimes even free!). I would stress PMI membership and meetings because chapter meetings often involve training as well (and membership usually means a discount on outside seminars).
It just doesn’t seem that these changes would make it worthwhile to pursue competing against the article. I just can’t figure out why it’s ranked #3.
