Humphreys & Associates, Inc. Announces Distance Learning Opportunity

Leave a comment


Humphreys & Associates Logo

All H&A on-line courses earn Professional Develop Units (PDU) and Continuing Education Units (CEUs).


IRVINE, Calif. (PRWEB)

Humphreys & Associates, Inc. (H&A) is the industry recognized leader in program and project performance management system design, development, implementation, evaluation, analysis, use, and training. We have been offering distance-learning courses for project management personnel since initiating the creation of our most popular courses in video format, starting 1988 with our 3-day Project Scheduling Workshop (PSW) and our 3-day Earned Value Management System (EVMS) workshops. Our materials are maintained with frequent updates as requirements and concepts evolve and with specific versions for NASA, DoD and DOE projects. We refer to these as our Virtual Learning Labs (VLL)s because you can sit in the comfort of your own home and learn. To see a complete list of our courses and their descriptions visit our website.

All H&A on-line courses earn Professional Develop Units (PDU) and Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

In light of the pandemic the nation is facing and the disruption to our usual business practices, companies are all working on new ways for people to make better use of the time that may have to be spent at home. As a result, companies and their staff must ‘retool’ our approaches to work and educate while adhering to the physical constraints that may exist for an undetermined amount of time. H&A has a proven, cost effective approach to increasing a team’s skills to make them more valuable assets to your organization.

In addition, H&A now offers two career path certifications. We created the H&A Control Account Manager (CAM) Certification program over 5 years ago and approximately 600 people have gone through this rigorous certification process. We also created a Project Control/ Analyst (PC/A) Certification test for those who support the CAMs and Program Managers. If you are not sure that a candidate has the requisite knowledge prior to the Certification tests, then prior to their engaging in the test, you can make available to those future candidates the CAM Certification Training or the individual VLLs. You can also do the same as a refresher for candidates for the Project Control/ Analyst Certification test.

1. CAM Certification – Having a CAM certification means that an individual has demonstrated a knowledge level that establishes a sound foundation for success as a CAM and, eventually as a Project Manager. This certification is intended for those who understand the basic Earned Value concepts and are serving as, or in line to become, Control Account Managers for a project.

2. Project Control/Analyst (PC/A). There is a severe shortage of this skill available, and this certification will again ensure a knowledge level necessary to accomplish the important PC/A role. This certification is not intended for people new to Earned Value; it is for those who have been CAMs or provided support to CAMs and Project Manages who have demonstrated skills.

Microchip Technology Incorporated Announces Lawsuit Settlement

Leave a comment



CHANDLER, Ariz. (PRWEB)

(NASDAQ: MCHP) – Microchip Technology Inc. (MCHP) is happy to report that it has reached an amicable settlement with plaintiffs James Peterson, Paul Pickle, Rick Goerner and Phil Sansone in the Peterson et al. v. Sanghi et al. lawsuit. The terms of the settlement are confidential.

The statements at the heart of the defamation lawsuit were borne out of a difference of opinion over competing business philosophies. The parties recognize that there is no one right or wrong way to operate a semiconductor company, and reasonable minds may differ as to the best ways to serve end markets. Even though Microchip made public statements to the effect that the former management of Microsemi had not acted fraudulently or illegally, we understand that the statements defendants made following the acquisition could have been taken by some as casting plaintiffs in a negative light.

The statements at issue in the lawsuit were not intended to accuse the plaintiffs of committing any fraud or engaging in any other form of misconduct in their management of Microsemi Corporation or their conduct in connection with Microchip’s acquisition of Microsemi.

From the time Microchip announced the acquisition of Microsemi, it has remained enthusiastic about the past, present, and future contributions to Microchip from this profitable and diversified company.

Microchip is happy to put the lawsuit behind it and wishes Plaintiffs all the best in their future endeavors.
