OUR GUARANTEES

The Guarantee: You won't find a lower cost, publicly available, three-day SEI Introduction to CMMI class in the United States.

The Rules. The class must be available to the general public, advertised on the web, occurring in the future, and happening within one month of the Leading Edge class date in which you're interested.

What You Should Do. If you've found such a class, e-mail us and include a hyperlink to the relevant web page. After we verfiy your claim, we'll send you information on how to register for our class at the price you discovered...up to $150 off our price.

What If You Find a Lower Price After You've Already Registered? We realize you may want to register with us now to lock in a seat rather than spend any more time shopping around. Go ahead, and if you find a lower price class after you've already registered with us, drop us a line explaining the situation. We'll present you with a $50 Barnes and Noble Gift Card during class. (This offer cannot be combined with our other discounts or special offers.) Because of our online processing costs, we cannot issue you an actual discount after you've registered.

The Guarantee: You won't find a higher quality, publicly available, three-day SEI Introduction to CMMI class in the United States.

The Rules. The class must be available to the general public, advertised on the web, occurring in the future, and happening within one month of the Leading Edge class date in which you're interested.

Because the course content itself is standardized by the SEI, we're using instructor rating as the quality discriminator. Our instructor's average score on student feedback forms for "To what extent was the instructor effective overall?" is 4.87. (We've normalized the four possible responses to this question to a 5-point scale: Not at All=1.25, Rarely=2.5, Moderately=3.75, A Great Deal=5.0.).

What You Should Do. Find another organization willing to guarantee you a specific instructor (many don't), and willing to share their ratings for that instructor with you (most won't, and in fact many won't even be tracking the data!). Find out their "instructor effectiveness" score.

Our instructor has taught this course to more than 500 students. To ensure the comparison has at least a hint of statistical relevance, the competitor's instructor must have taught the class to at least 100 students.

If Their Quality Rating Beats Ours. By all means, take their course! However... if our course is less expensive, more convenient, or offers other advantages for you, please take ours. E-mail us with the competitor's rating information. After we successfully validate the claim, we'll present you with a $50 Barnes and Noble Gift Card during class as payment for your hard work. (This offer cannot be combined with other special offers, including our early registration bonus.) So far, we haven't had to do this.

Due to Government regulations we may be unable to extend the Gift Card offer to employees of the Federal Government. Furthermore, all students (regardless of employer) are responsible for ensuring that the receipt of this gift card does not violate organizational policy regarding the receipt of a "gift" from a potential contractor.

We reserve the right to withdraw these guarantees at any time without prior notice.
