San Francisco, Ca. – March 1, 2011 Fog City Consulting LLC today announces it is now approved by Project Management Institute to become a PMI Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.) effective March 2011.

PMI R.E.P.s are educational organizations that have demonstrated that they are capable of providing world-class effective project management training. Through PMI’s rigorous quality criteria for course content, instructor qualification, and instructional design, R.E.P.s provide the project management training necessary to earn and to maintain Project Management Professional (PMP)®, Program Management Professional (PgMP)® and other PMI professional credentials.

Fog City Consulting’s mission with their training offering is to provide a diverse set of training solutions to advance organizational and individual knowledge on the most current best practices in project management. The offering strives to be valuable, practical, and immediately applicable for a project manager and their organization. Their proven teaching approach for each session consists of a balance between lecture, discussion, and exam and exercise simulation.

"We are very pleased to have obtained the most prestigious training designation in the project management industry. Our firm is committed to supporting the educational goals and standards of PMI as we deliver our training offering to both individuals and organizations globally," said Ron Ponce, President of Fog City Consulting.

“PMI’s recent survey of training providers shows that 80 percent of organizations seeking suppliers of project management training strongly prefer to work with PMI R.E.P.s. They view their affiliation with PMI, as the leading standard-setting professional association for project management, as a stamp of quality on the training services they purchase,” said Edwin Andrews, Ph.D., director of academic and educational programs and services at PMI. “Organizations want to protect their investment in project management training, and they know that a PMI R.E.P. delivers such training in a cost-effective and efficient manner.”

Currently, there are over 1,400 R.E.P.s in more than 70 countries. These organizations include commercial training providers that design complete educational systems, academic institutions, internal training offices at corporations and government agencies.
