AACE Webinar: Planning & Scheduling Professional (PSP) Exam Review

This seminar provides a good review of planning and scheduling principles/techniques, and is intended as a refresher for individuals preparing to sit for the PSP certification exam (the PSP Study Guide is included in the fee). As such, it is not meant to replace years of scheduling experience in the field, but rather should be considered as a component of the preparation recommended to successfully achieve the PSP certification. The seminar can also be helpful to those individuals not necessarily looking to sit for the certification exam, but rather as a good overview of planning and scheduling that can be built upon by additional project-based experience.
