The CMMI Institute strictly limits the virtual course size to 15 students. SteelToad will never have more than 15 students per course. We utilize small groups in breakout rooms, and encourage open discussion and questions. The goal is for you to access the class and the instructor to really learn CMMI best practices, not just to pass an exam, but to be qualified to lead and implement the approach within your work environment.

Of course! Please email julie@steeltoad.com and we’ll sort out payment details that work best for you and your company.
