Additional Information:

This course is different from the two-day course in that it is fast-paced and focused solely on discussion of the exam material; it assumes the participant already has a good understanding of new product development.

Prior to the course, participants will receive a package of materials by U.S. mail (expedited delivery is available at an additional charge of $30). On the days of the course, participants will log into the provided website via their computer and dial into a conference call via their telephone (long distance charges may apply, but we now support VOIP at no extra charge). Participants will have the ability to see the material on their computer, as well as in their manual, and will hear and participate in discussion via the telephone. This is an instructor-led course. Nothing is previously taped, so participants will have the ability to ask questions at any time.

As with the classroom course, a practice exam is provided to help participants assess their level of preparedness for the NPDP certification exam and a Personal Preparation Plan will help participants plan their exam preparation. The cost is $795 and includes all materials mentioned above.

New skills and certifications, including the NPDP certification, can be strong selling points on your resume. To assist those hardest hit by current economic conditions, we offer a $200 discount to unemployed** individuals having difficulty finding a new job.

Discounts are available for multiple attendees from the same company. Please call for details.
