managers, ESI has a solution to meet your needs.

foremost credential and is a benchmark for many of the world's largest
corporations for advancement and employment. PMP® status is awarded
on successful application and passing an exam based on the PMI's

lead to certification from PMI® and the George Washington University,
all of the courses can be tailored to meet your organisation's
own certification programmes and methodologies.
Where organisations have, or wish to have, developed certification
paths and training based on their own methodologies, ESI consultants
can tailor-make courses that match those specifications and
continue to deliver them to their same high-standards.
