Instructors for PMP Prep Course
CALL FOR INSTRUCTORS
PMI-SVC TENTATIVE FALL 2020 PMP EXAM PREP COURSE
Current PMPs may volunteer to teach one or more sessions of the course, 6 PDUs per session.
There will be a virtual Train-the-Trainer meeting on August 4th, 6 pm, for the volunteers.
In view of COVID19, health and safety are the main priorities for Project Management Institute, Sacramento Valley Chapter. It is also our goal to keep you informed about our guidelines surrounding coronavirus (COVID-19) in regards to the class.
The tentative location for the PMP Prep Class will be the facilities of Delegata in Sacramento. Delegata is following all Federal, California, Sacramento County and City COVID protocols. Most notably: washing hands for at least 15-20 seconds, wearing masks and gloves and social distancing to include limiting two persons in the elevators and stairs whenever possible. All precautions will take place to ensure the room will be set up to maintain a six-feet distance of spacing for students as recommended by the CDC. Signage has been posted within Delegata and its offices, including conference and classrooms.
To further promote the safety of our members, the Chapter will limit the number of participants that will be allowed to take the class. A coffee station will be set up and attendees will have disposable cups. Instructions will be sent to the participants who sign up for the class.
