Anyone interested in learning about CMMI
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Three days
Public courses are taught at BTI’s
facility in Columbia, Maryland and
are priced on a fixed per-student cost.
Public courses are offered on a schedule
determined by BTI.
On-site courses are taught at either
BTI’s or the customer’s
facility as selected by the customer.
On-site courses are taught on a schedule
determined by the customer, within
instructor availability. On-site courses
are priced at a fixed price per course
with a small additional charge per
student. This additional charge is
set at BTI’s cost for student
materials and the mandatory SEI royalty.
Public courses are more flexible than
public courses and are more economical
for four or more students.
