ESI International's Master's Certificate in Project Management Now Available Entirely Online
(ARLINGTON, VA - September 4, 2003) --ESI International, the leading provider of project management and contract management training services, has made its Master's Certificate in Project Management Program available entirely online. Until now, students had to supplement their e-training with either on-site or public classroom training in order to earn their master's certificates. Now, students can complete all of their required courses online through the company's e-training program.
"At ESI, we understand that our students are busy professionals, and sometimes it's difficult to get away from the office to attend courses. That's why we've made our master's certificate as accessible as possible," said Larry Seeley, ESI's President. "Now, students can earn their master's certificates at their offices, on their home computers, or wherever they have an Internet connection - on their own schedule."
All seven of ESI's core project management courses are now offered through the company's unique, highly interactive, Flash™-based training format. The new platform represents the leading edge in educational technology and design and provides a greater emphasis on active learning and individual coaching from instructors. Students are placed in a fictional, but very lifelike environment as they try to solve specific project management problems. The courses provide all the materials needed to solve these problems, making each lesson within the course a valuable, self-contained educational tool.
"The quality of the graphics, the rich interactivity of the courseware and the variety of learning styles that the Flash™-based design accommodates offer our students a rewarding learning experience. And best of all, there's no travel required, which saves students and their organizations time and expense," said Seeley.
