                   The 
                    need for skilled project managers continues to intensify. 
                    According to a study by Standish Group International, a significant 
                    portion of the more than $250 billion spent annually on IT 
                    application development is wasted as a result of project management 
                    failure. The study also points out that: 
                  
                    - 31% 
                      of all projects are canceled before completion.
 
                    - 88% 
                      of all projects are over schedule, over budget, or both.
 
                    -  
                      Average cost overrun is 189% of original estimates.
 
                    - Average 
                      time overrun is 222% of original estimates.
 
                   
                                      Projects are failing at an alarming rate across all industries, 
                    either because they take too long or go over budget, and the 
                    demand for project management training is growing exponentially. 
                    The Training Institute of Washington, DC provides courses 
                    that will enhance the skills of those who are already project 
                    managers, and provide transitional skills for individuals 
                    who are new to the profession. 
                     
                    Federal Acquisition  Institute Courses  
                  Well-trained and  experienced program and project managers are critical to the acquisition  process and the successful accomplishment of mission goals. A strong  partnership between program and project managers and contracting professionals  requires a common understanding of how to meet the government  ’s needs through  acquisitions that deliver quality goods and services in an effective and  efficient manner.  
                  The purpose of the  Federal Acquisition Certification for Program and Project Managers (FAC-P/PM)  is to establish general training and experience requirements for program and  project managers in civilian agencies. The FAC-P/PM focuses on essential  competencies needed for program and project managers; the program does not  include functional or technical competencies, such as those for information  technology, or agency-specific competencies.
