EVP Exam Prep Workshop Outline
 

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.
