EVPrep™ Workshop (14
P.D.Us)
This workshop helps prepare you for the
AACE 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.

Since Management Technologies is an AACE AEP our attendees
receive up to 15 months of temporary AACE membership. This means
you can register for the EVP exam at AACE member rates, saving
you $150.
Some EVPs have said this is most difficult certification exam
they have taken from either AACE
or PMI®. The
pass rate in 2010 was 46%. (We do not require
our customers to tell us how they did so we don't have pass rate
for the EVPrep Workshop but see their
comments below.)
Please note: Management
Technologies does not administer the EVP exam. AACE is the exam
authority and you must apply to AACE to sit for the exam.
The EVPrep workshop is offered on-site and as scheduled
public event.
