Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Knowledge is only Power once it is applied
Simple academics do not satisfy needs of the present day’s jobs. Academic degree might help to qualify for job interview but to get through the job needs professionalism. And later-on for speedy career-growths and promotions, one has to go through globally acknowledged training and officiate it through subsequent certifications from patent Bodies and Authorities.
Therefore, trainings must be internationally acknowledged so that the same trainings should help the trainees to qualify for sitting in 3rd party exams for getting global credentials.
MSB Training Consultancy offers globally acceptable trainings in coaching and mentoring mode.
There is no replacement to Physical (in-person sessions) and MSBTC is the ONLY Training Consultancy which is conducting face to face training sessions in the Biggest City of Pakistan on regular basis. (2 physical training sessions, on average, per week in addition to, 5 online training sessions, on average, per week). Imagine being physically part of any event or just watching its broadcast or recording later-on. If it does not make any difference to you then you may equally benefit from both Face 2 Face or distant learning.
MSB Training Consultancy serves in both modes.
LIVE instructor sessions in synchronous mode is compliance requirement by PMI. So, we ALWAYS conduct LIVE Instructor led Courses even for the missed classes.
We do NOT offer public courses that are “Self-paced” or just videos and quizzes without human interaction because that does not qualify for PMI USA Compliance Requirements.
We’ll make it possible by procuring digital data from PMI USA emailed direct to your email address on priority; of-course after receiving your fee deposit details. We train and coach using Zoom® and it’s ALWAYS a live instructor led coaching to train ATP. You can see and speak to and interact with directly the entire time. At present, all our courses are taught in English only and bi-lingual in case of locals.
Flexibility in Mode of learning with option to select your preferred fee plan consistent with extent of support.
Strategic approach! That’s like a real manager, Project Manager rather Program Manager of your own career and life.

Yes. But be careful! People who place such free resources may have good intentions, but downloading free questions/answers may be obsolete/outdated. Especially now once PMI USA prepared clone questions are available with every legitimately registered aspirant then why to over-complicate your journey to success. Follow the PMI support, for which you’ve procured 99USD worth digital data, and embrace Success gracefully. Focus more on building concepts than practicing questions. Well, exam question practice is must for building stamina but in the very end.

Even more… Intelligent minds do…. We are here to Serve & Support … Stay Blessed!!!
Academic Degrees and Professional Trainings are complementary to each other and should not be compared to be competitive to one another, as such.
They are not replacement of each other.
They are pro-ponents and not op-ponents.
Largely efficiency and eligibility of any working professional is gauged through the worth of the Degree and Institute whereas efficacy and value-delivery of desired strategic goals and objectives as Outcomes are guaranteed through patent Training Credentials.
There is abundance of degree-holders but we find very few who can make difference with the help of degrees in the field of their interest.
Since one gets compensated/paid for the value one delivers through application of knowledge (based on the academic degree), therefore trainings get crucial for the degree-holders to be acknowledged and entrusted as working professional.
MSB Training Consultancy supports individuals to achieve this basic requirement of the existing professional competitive world.
Well initially for couple of years, any management job-position largely requires technical domain related knowledge and learning basics of the technical skills and expertise.
Later-on, only those who prove themselves to be good at managing people (through soft skills; leadership) in addition to in depth process related knowledge (hard skills in adaptable manner; Ways of Working) could propel company’s strategic and business objectives (Business Environment/Acumen).
The Business and non-technical background professionals are in dire need of such professional credentials to better capitalize on the technical resources who are reporting them. Otherwise, the technical professional after getting management training and grooming will take over the leadership position which is pretty common, by the way.
MSB Training Consultancy guides both technical & non-technical trainees for achieving credentials
Your call…
Not recommended…
Quality never comes for cheap….
Nothing is free in this corporate world….
Always go for globally acknowledged training and certification because you’d like to become a global knowledge worker.
In that you’ll be readily absorbable, world-wide.
Also in case of any multi-national organization working in your home country, you can become their preferred choice. So if you have already taken your precious time out for training and are investing money in it then invest it wisely as it is not only investment of time & money but also of dedication & passion….
You cannot learn the same concepts twice with the same zeal and zest….
Better not lose it by getting in loop of ‘amateur trainers’ and ‘stereo trainings’ or ‘commercial deal breakers undergoing malpractices and unethical means’.
Those who are not AUTHORISED Training Partners with PMI USA are still claiming the old term PDU because their trainings are not automatically uploaded with PMI USA records. They are not authorized to even access the digital data crafted by PMI USA constituting on Case Study, Exam Questions, Presentations, Documentaries, Work-Book, etc.
Think for a moment once REP program has been wrapped then what is the point of using outdated terminology. One reason may be to keep looping in less informed credential seekers.
Note:
PDU stands for Professional Development Unit as far as Project Management Institute (PMI®) terminology is concerned. Generally any step taken by any professional for his professional grooming is considered as PDU. REP program which is no more valid used to use PDUs on the certificate. Now these are automatically recorded with PMI USA but only for those who go through ATP program.
MSB Training Consultancy offers ATP training and therefore is exempted from any auditory requirements for PMP exam.
Academics coupled with Field experience enriched by meticulous teaching and agile coaching methodology.
We cover environmental and organizational factors by referring to different field scenarios to imprint long lasting concepts in a candid and soft way.
MSB Training Consultancy offers globally acceptable trainings in coaching mode, with complete flexibility of schedule, batch-size, sequence of course-content, and the course-design as per unique needs of our collaborating partners/trainees.
It is highly suggested to sit in the certification exam and get your-self certified by 3rd party independent body to become world-wide market-able commodity. However, if you somehow cannot sit in the certification exam, even then it is advisable to attend these PDU training sessions to get latest field knowledge on the same subject in international terms. Later-on align your job practices to the same to tune your professional approach as per international standards.
Who knows you might end up with some lucrative job opportunity with any of such certification as its pre-requisite then these PDUs will help in grabbing such opportunity in lesser time as PDU’s are life-long and do not expire. Also, jobs float individuals to even far off cities or countries where getting these PDUs become extremely expensive and difficult. So do not miss any of such opportunity.
Last but not the least; Knowledge gives confidence and satisfaction. MSB Training Consultancy has 100% success rate not only in Project Management but also in Risk, Agile Project Management, Quality, etc
Wild lions and circus lions cannot be the same.
Similarly, any fresh university graduate without field experience if tries to teach the same subjects then he can simply not leave impressions on audience as he cannot relate field with the subject.
The same holds good for the training world. Any individual unless and until he has not been through more than one academic field at least at the post graduate level, has not conducted post graduate researches and doctoral thesis type real time problem solving drills can never become a good trainer.
Also he has to go through the real ordeal of field life preferably in heterogeneous, challenging, hostile environments of different industries preferably in offshore, onshore and desert conditions of various countries working in multinational teams to gather unique experiences to further bestow to his trainees. This requires thorough experience in different industries with different local and multinational giants.
Last but not the least, at the end of the day its knowledge transfer activity so trainer should be passionate, respectful and intelligent enough to show flexibility to the audience to implant deep rooted concepts backed by field examples in a skillful, candid and crispy way.
Simply, academic excellence + multinational experience + mentoring skill = Trainer
It’s your responsibility to not fool yourself with ordinary stereo trainings conducted by pseudo trainers as it can extinct your passion and quest for knowledge.
MSB Training Consultancy conducts training through master trainer who has hard core, real time, hand-on, multinational experience with global credentials in Projects Management, Risk, Agile Project Management, Schedule, Quality, Scheduling, Radioactivity, Well Testing, Instrumentation, Control Systems, Quality Health Safety & Environment, etc.
Training module’s relatedness to your existing job should be sought first with preference to its alignment with your career-goals to secure your dream job.
Dream job can be no formal job and entrepreneurship. So the training module should not only enhance your job absorb ability and promotion but also equip you with tools and techniques to feel confident and comfortable with experimenting your own business.
MSB Training Consultancy is based on international standards of Projects Management, Risk, , Agile Project Management, Schedule, Quality, Scheduling, etc
Depends on module and at times for commercialisms and attracting variety of audience or even accommodating pseudo trainers for reasons such tactics are exercised to run a multi-caste training show. Honestly speaking at times such setups do not have quality master trainer to single-handedly conduct the whole course.
In case of many trainer’s conducting one module the effective time reduces to almost 60% of total, e.g., effectively 20 to 22 hours are consumed out of 35 hours in such in-out (trainer) atmosphere.
Whereas the same trainer, if competent enough and having international exposure and credentials with energy and passion can of course better steer audience by avoiding repetition of same introductory time-waster sessions. Also he can refer the same case, scenario in later part of his training to re-iterate the concepts. Trainings like Project Management Professional Exam Preparation, Risk, Agile, Quality, Schedule requires this cohesiveness of ideas and scenarios for better understanding. Single trainer thus creates better impact on participants by giving them 85% of effective time with more group discussions for better knowledge transfer. Trainees achieve personal contact even after the training with the trainer and he becomes their life-long mentor as well. Trainer also owns the group and helps them later for their exam attempt.
MSB Training Consultancy has the resources to accomplish the highly specialized training module by the same master trainer.
If prime motive of training is to get introduced to different professionals of the field for better future prospects and relationship along with getting variety of experience then at times trainees should opt trainings where big names are gathered and hopefully such contact should pay them back. Rest assured that probability of success in certification exams increases with thorough, effective and personalized training conducted by one highly specialized master trainer.
MSB Training Consultancy takes responsibility and protects trainees interest.
Why should I peep out of my present job scope and look around to understand different scenarios in businesses?
If you want to earn (respect/money/free-time/relaxation) More
then you’ll have to do something (Training/Coaching/Mentoring) More
Mid career growth is dependent on international certifications otherwise the fresh graduates following you are more smart, computer literate and skillful to over-take you and later-on lead you. Beauty of international credential is that once you become credential holder then you are bound to grow if not in the same company then somewhere else may be in some different country with upgraded career. Those creeping in their careers or just moving on with clutches (of relationships, flattery, dishonesty, bad politics, etc) can never survive forever in the present turbulent corporate world. SO wise to opt for the righteous and graceful path of hard work by honest and dedicated training efforts.
