PMCDP FY 2017 Training Strategy
The PMCDP Training Strategy is built using data from past years’ classes and direction from the PMCDP Certification Review Board. The total number of PMCDP classes is consistent with the number of annual classes over the past three fiscal years, including classes ordered directly by the sites. PMCDP will continue to determine training needs based on input from our users. Priority is given to FPDs seeking certification.
PMCDP classes are Working Capital Funded (WCF) offerings. Training costs are covered; however, travel costs are the responsibility of your Program office.
All PMCDP classes are offered at least once each fiscal year. Several of the courses - Project Management Essentials, Environmental Laws and Regulations, and EVMS 24/7 - are available on demand through DOE's online Learning Center (OLC). A new elective, Scheduling 24/7, will soon be available on demand through the OLC.
The full training schedule will be available on energy.gov on the PMCDP page found in the Office of Project Management Oversight and Assessments.
The FY17 courses are being scheduled as follows:
- Q1 courses will include a number of desktop deliveries to accommodate continuing resolution, limited available travel dollars in first quarter, and first quarter holiday season.
- Some courses will be available in FY17 both as classroom and as desktop deliveries this year. The desktop deliveries will expand the accessibility of these courses to more members of the workforce, including project team members.
- A number of courses will be delivered later in the fiscal year to allow sufficient time to update course materials to align with recent changes in DOE O 413.3B, Guide updates, and audit findings.
- The schedule will replace a number of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) courses with new DOE custom-built classes to better address our workforce needs.
