Professor Kwaku Akyeampong is an excellent teacher and instructor and he coached me throughout the class on various topics to include the EIA 748-C Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) industry standards and best practices, project management, contract management best practices, risk detection, quality control, change control and management, stakeholder management, resources management and resources utilization.
“Professor Kwaku Akyeampong (EVMP® Instructor) was excellent at supplying the class with real life examples and experiences, which helped me to understand how better to adapt the EVM practices into my own program. I’d recommend this class to anyone working on projects. The information that I gained regarding the processes involved in tracking a project accurately and to identify the status and progress has been invaluable.”
The EVMP® class and certification was a practical approach to learning how to apply Earned Value Management principles to my projects. The topics, exercises, and case studies – along with our passionate instructor (Professor Kwaku Akyeampong aka Doctor EVM) were as interesting as they were effective. The course was challenging, informative, complete and well organized. I also learned about new EVM work products (like the EVMATOM® Earned Value Management Accountability Transparency and Oversight Matrix®) that I can leverage on future projects. I will definitely recommend the EVMP® certification program through EVMi® to my colleagues.”
“Thank you, Professor Kwaku Akyeampong, you are truly a Subject Matter Expert in this area [EVM]. I admire your dedication and passion to EVM and quality. And your stories brought EVM to life!!!. Don’t stop doing what you are doing!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Professor Kwaku Akyeampong is a wealth of knowledge on not just Earned Value Management (EVM) but also on project management as a whole. The concepts and ideas I learned will make a huge positive impact on my projects once I can fully implement them. I recommend this class to anyone looking for additional knowledge in Earned Value Management (EVM)”
“Thank you to Professor Kwaku Akyeampong, and the EVMI team for providing a valuable course with direct application to the real world”
“We look forward to ongoing EVM training and certifications from EVMI®. Professor Kwaku Akyeampong, EVMI® President teaches from the heart and his passion is infectious, and the classes are enjoyable and motivational! Thanks Kwaku – we look forward to immediate results”
“The EVMP® Earned Value Management Professional® certification program is about leadership and problem solving based on Earned Value Management (EVM). I am very pleased with the training I received. The international and culturally diverse perspective of the instructor, Professor Kwaku Akyeampong, was a bonus. This takes EVM to a new level”
The EVMP® course is presented in a way that integrates the target knowledge into each participant’s current working knowledge base. There are plenty of hands-on, practical exercises with immediate feedback. The classroom discussions create information sharing between subject matter experts (SME). There are also opportunities to form study groups and the instructor is available before and after training sessions for as long as is needed/productive. It is truly possible to take away as much knowledge as you can possibly absorb. Concerning presentation, content, and instructor competence [Professor. Kwaku Akyeampong, EVMI® President was my instructor]; EVMI® is far ahead of the rest and sets a new standard of excellence”. “The most valuable aspects of the EVMP® course for me are the: The Stakeholder Matrix – Managing Stakeholders; EVMATOM® Matrix for tracking and managing project tasks; and most valuable, the lifetime relationship established with EVMI® for onsite visits, and future mentoring. EVMS implementation seems nearly instinctive to me now.”
“EVMi® provides the connection between theory and practice that all managers and companies need for the delivery of products, services and projects on time and within budget.” “The visibility provided to projects run rates, schedule performance, projected cost and projected delivery is invaluable to success. The EVMP® instructor, Mr. Kwaku Akyeampong, is both well versed in EVM as well as informative and insightful. His command of EVM is unsurpassed. While the class moves at remarkable speed and the after class time demand is high, you feel enabled, empowered and renewed upon completion. Highly recommended for all project managers and above in any government agency, organization or company. You will be enlightened”
“Wow, EVMi® has changed the way I approach any project, or manufacturing task. I am proud of completing this EVMP® course and am recommending it to other executives within our company and at other professional organizations. Keep up the outstanding work.”
