EVPrep™ Workshop (14
P.D.Us)
This workshop helps prepare you for the
AACEI Earned Value Professional (EVP) examination. Whether
your exam date is just around the corner, or you are just
beginning the EVP Certification process, this workshop is for
you. Developed
and taught by EVPs with extensive EVM experience, this two day workshop covers all topics
likely included in the day-long exam. The workshop follows the exam's
four part format. After a review
of the exam topics each attendee is given dozens of
exam-like questions to answer.
This is followed by a workshop discussion of each question,
possible answers, the correct answer, and the logic behind the
question. Even if you have been practicing EVM for years, this
workshop will cover those topics included on the exam that you
don't practice regularly or have not encountered.
Please note: Management
Technologies does not administer the EVP exam. AACEI is the exam
authority and you must apply to AACEI to sit for the exam and
pay an application fee.
The EVPrep workshop is offered on-site and as scheduled
public event.
"Ray, You're my hero! Thanks for taking the
time to teach the class. It was a great review of the material

resource. I'll definitely be giving it (and you) a plug
throughout the halls of government. Thanks again!"
