BPMN Training and Certification – Virtual Classroom

Now you don’t have to travel to get live BPMN training.  You can do it over the Internet!  Get full BPMN Level 1 and Level 2 training based on Bruce Silver’s proven Method and Style approach in a three-day virtual classroom, complete with individualized post-class certification.   Level 1 – now officially recognized by OMG as the BPMN “Descriptive” modeling subclass – uses a limited palette of BPMN shapes and symbols, familiar to business users from traditional flowcharting. Level 2 – the new Analytic subclass – leverages an expanded palette, including intermediate events, for specifying exception handling important to executable process design.

The next virtual classroom is January 9-11 from 8am-1pm PT or 11am-4pm ET (in Europe CET, that’s 5-10pm).  You’ll access the training through a browser window, and run Process Modeler for Visio in another window for the in-class exercises.  (You’ll need a PC with Visio 2003, 2007, or 2010 installed.  We’ll provide the BPMN add-in.)  This is the new version 5.0 of the training, featuring “style rule” validation directly inside the tool… making it much easier to create process models that are clear, complete, and correct.  (Actually, an improvement on that, incorporating some comments from Sandy Kemsley’s review of our April class!)

The virtual classroom format leverages a great e-learning platform from iLinc.  Similar to Webex or Adobe Connect, iLinc supports online presentations with 2-way interaction, including Internet audio, chat (public and private), and private “look-in” to student desktop.

The price is $1095 for a single student, dropping to $995 each if you register 5, and $895 for 10 or more.  That includes post-class certification of BPMN proficiency, based on an online exam and a mail-in exercise, with individualized feedback from Bruce Silver.

Here is the schedule of BPMN Method and Style live-online training for 2012.  The class runs on three consecutive days, tentatively Monday to Wednesday from 8am to 1pm US Pacific time, which is 11am to 4pm US Eastern time.  However, some classes may be adjusted to be more convenient for Europe or Australia/New Zealand.  If you are in one of these areas and have a group of 7 or more, and can commit early, you have a chance to influence that.  Contact me directly in that case.  The current price is $1095 (1), $995 (5-9), $895 (10+).  Click here to register.
