CONTROL BENTLEY ® LICENSING OVERAGES.
Project Profitability: Project management online training By Howard Birnberg, Association for Project Managers Isn’t technology wonderful? Well, not always, but it does provide project managers with an opportunity to learn, enhance skills, meet continuing education licensing requirements, validate their role/skills as project managers, and meet many other needs. And, much of this can be acquired without leaving your own office or home. Online learning in its many forms can be extremely beneficial to project managers, limit the impact on their billable time, reduce the burden on their already overloaded schedules, and be very cost effective. Webinars are offered by many providers on a huge range of topics. Well- prepared and delivered webinars offer the great benefits of learning without the time burden and expense of traveling. However, there are some negatives to webinars. The face-to-face exchange of information and views obtained at traditional luncheon programs, seminars, workshops, lectures, etc. is difficult or impossible with webinars, even with conferencing capabilities such as Skype. As with webinars, there are numerous providers of online courses. Some are simply expanded webinars; others are fully developed professional development courses offered by well-known universities. There also are some drawbacks to online courses. The registration cost is much higher than webinars and the time commitment greater. The opportunity to mingle and exchange experiences, opinions, and information with classmates is more limited than with in-person classes. For civil and structural engineers living or working in more remote locations, on long-term assignment to job sites or client offices, or seeking specialized training and education, webinars or online courses may be the only viable alternative.
