Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, and techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently. It’s a strategic competency for organizations, enabling them to tie project results to business goals—and thus, better compete in their markets.

Yes, we provide weekend PMP training programs over 5 Saturdays. One may think why not finish the trainings in 2 to maximum 3 weekends instead of 5 Saturdays.
SABCONS, as an organisation, believes in efficiency over convenience in delivering the training. An individual who will attend a 2 or 3 week Sat + Sun training will also be managing work for 5 business days. This means she / he will have to stretch for 19 days without a break until the course completes. However, in a 5 Saturday program the individual gets a break on every Sunday. This will allow her / him some time to reflect / recharge before the next week and avoid burnout, hence learning becomes fun. We would also like to quote examples from the IIMs who never conduct a course on Sundays with the same rationale as there needs to be balance between work, life and education.
