Try Lou Bergner MBA PHP, loubergner@lbassociates.biz, he seemed very flexible, and was a great teacher (I took a scope/risk course from him, which he and The Graduate School brought to our agency, special).

Hello - I work for the Project & Program Management training division here at Management Concepts, a leading provider to the federal government in the training and professional services field.  

We have the ability to offer our standard classroom PM courses in increments smaller than one day based on client needs and requirements, but we also have had great success with delivering these courses via a virtual classroom delivery format, which not only breaks the content down into 4 hour modules, but gives students the ability to take training online (with a live instructor) without leaving their workplace (which is also potentially a great cost savings for the organization).  For example, a 2 day course is broken down into four sessions, each four hours long, being delivered over four days.  This adds a lot of flexibility to the delivery of the same content covered in a standard 2 day live classroom delivery.

If you are interested in learning more, please email Teidi Tucker at ttucker@managementconcepts.com.  You can also access our website at https://www.managementconcepts.com/portal/server.pt/community/proje...

The Defense Acquisition University (DAU) and its Federal portal (Federal Acquisition Institute) offer hundreds of NO COST certification courses and continuing ed modules that range from online to blended to classroom venues. I would suggest you go to www.dau.mil if you are DoD or a DoD Contractor or www.fai.gov (if you are non-DoD/Federal employee). Program Management is one of the 15 career fields supported, incl Business/Finance, Contracting, Acquisition, Logistics and more.

Last year, DAU delivered over 12.5 MILLION hours of instructon/learning. Take advantage...

I work at Graduate School USA and our Project Management Course (distance education version) works that way.  Participants spend 4 to 5 hours per week completing independent study assignments under the guidance of a seasoned project management professional.  You can find out more about that course at: Project Management (GS Connect). If you are talking about a group session, we could also customize something for you via our distance education platform (GS Connect). 

 

If you need more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.  You can reach me directly at roberta.croll@graduateschool.edu.

Try checking out ESI-intl. Their website is www.esi-intl.com. My experience is they are pretty good at tailoring instruction for specific organizational needs.
