Aptara Builds Custom eLearning Solution for PMI Certification of Project Managers Worldwide

FALLS CHURCH, VA, Oct 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Aptara, Inc., a global leader in eLearning and custom content development
solutions, announced that it has developed a custom eLearning solution
for Project Management Institute (PMI), the world's premier project
management organization and certification body, with over 500,000 members
and certificate holders. The 15-hour, self-paced course titled "Project
Movie: A Practical Application of the Guide to the Project Management
Body of Knowledge (PMBOK(R) Guide) -- Fourth Edition" helps professionals
prepare for PMI's Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)
accreditation.

The PMBOK(R) Guide is the definitive compendium of knowledge for the
Project Management profession. Aptara was approached by PMI to develop an
interactive learning companion for the Guide's newly released fourth
edition. The successful completion of this multi-media course assists in
preparation for CAPM, as well as Project Management Professional (PMP(R))
certification. Featuring 12 separate modules, the self-paced, dynamic
course includes simulations, scenarios, and built-in assessments at the
conclusion of each module.

"It's an honor to lend our creative skills to developing advanced
e-coursework for such a prestigious organization and project," said Dev
Ganesan, Aptara's president and CEO. "The PMBOK(R) Guide is the
authoritative source for the Project Management profession. We're pleased
to help PMI meet their members' needs on more familiar ground by offering
convenient, web-based PMBOK(R) Guide training. Using new-media for
interactive scenarios, our creative learning team has provided PMI members
the immediate access and feedback that they're accustomed to from other
daily forms of digital communication. But these enhanced learning
techniques are not just high-tech -- they're effective and affordable."
