PMI R.E.P.s are educational organisations that have demonstrated that they are capable of providing world-class effective project management training. Through PMI’s rigorous quality criteria for course content, instructor qualification, and instructional design, R.E.P.s provide the project management training necessary to earn and to maintain Project Management Professional (PMP)®, Program Management Professional (PgMP)® and other PMI professional credentials.

“Wilson Learning is committed to ensuring our programs meet best practice standards and are pleased to have our programs recognised by PMI for the exceptional content, instructional design, and facilitation. These programs have equipped thousands of professionals with the skills and understanding to elevate their performance in project management as well as in a wide range of job responsibilities,” states Ed Emde, President of Wilson Learning Corporation.

As a R.E.P., Wilson Learning has been approved by PMI to issue professional development units (PDUs) for three of its programs.  The three programs are:

1. Building Relationship Versatility (BRV) is designed to help participants develop results-oriented communication skills in order to work more effectively with different people. Participants will deepen their understanding of the different ways people communicate with one another and learn how to use this knowledge to improve collaboration, build more productive relationships, and increase productivity and business results.

2. Building Collaborative Client Relationships (BCCR), also known as The Consultative Process and the Counsellor Salesperson, focuses on client communication and business problem solving skills. It is appropriate for all professional personnel whose work depends on having strong consultative relationships with external or internal clients—including project managers, service engineers, consultants, sales support staff, managers, and anyone with customer-contact responsibilities. Participants learn skills to ask the right questions that uncover the real needs and interests of the client as well as how to present recommendations, facilitate decision-making, and support client satisfaction with the accepted recommendation.

3. Negotiating to Yes (NTY) is a powerful program on the techniques and skills of principled negotiation.  The course is based on the work of Dr. William Ury, from the Harvard Negotiations Team and co-author of Getting to Yes.  The program includes fresh insights from Ury’s latest books, Getting Past No and The Positive No.  There is a strong emphasis on preparing one’s strategy and following a critical three-step process that includes aligning the people, exploring the issues and reaching agreements. 

“This approval emphasises Wilson Learning’s global approach to provide exceptional development opportunities that connect to the organization’s strategic direction and translate to measurable performance improvement, around the globe where ever you have resources,” adds Tom Roth, Chief Operating Officer, Wilson Learning Worldwide.

Currently, there are over 1,400 R.E.P.s in more than 70 countries. These organisations include commercial training providers that design complete educational systems, academic institutions, internal training offices at corporations and government agencies.

Counsellor Salesperson, Building Relationship Versatility and Negotiating to Yes are available as inhouse programs, virtual programs or as Open (public) Programs
