BPMS Watch

Now you don’t have to travel to get live BPMN training. You can get live-online BPMN training over the Internet!  Get full BPMN Level 1 and Level 2 training based on Bruce Silver’s proven Method and Style approach in a three-day virtual classroom, complete with individualized post-class certification.   Level 1 – now officially recognized by OMG as the BPMN “Descriptive” modeling subclass – uses a limited palette of BPMN shapes and symbols, familiar to business users from traditional flowcharting. Level 2 – the new Analytic subclass – leverages an expanded palette, including intermediate events, for specifying exception handling important to executable process design.

How Does It Work?

Most of the virtual classroom training events run from 8am-1pm PT or 11am-4pm ET (in Europe CET, that’s 5-10pm).  You’ll access the training through a browser window, and edit your own BPMN diagrams in another window.  Our public live-online classes now support both Process Modeler for Visio, an add-in to Visio 2003, 2007, or 2010, or Signavio, a zero-footprint cloud-based BPMN editor.  Each class is based on one tool or the  other; for Process Modeler, you’ll need a PC with Visio 2003, 2007, or 2010 installed.  We’ll provide the BPMN add-in.  With both tools, the price of the training includes 60-day use of the tool following the class, and post-class certification.

The virtual classroom format leverages a great e-learning platform from iLinc.  Similar to Webex or Adobe Connect, iLinc supports online presentations with 2-way interaction, including Internet audio, chat (public and private), and private “look-in” to student desktop.

How Much Does It Cost?

The normal price is $1095 for a single student, dropping to $995 each if you register 5, and $895 for 10 or more.  That includes post-class certification of BPMN proficiency, based on an online exam and a mail-in exercise, with individualized feedback from Bruce Silver.
