Background

D. Hughes & Co. was founded in 2005 to deliver the highest quality professional training using course material written and delivered by experienced practitioners with a deep understanding of their subject.

Benefits

Walking through purely descriptive course content simply is not good enough.

To get the most out of your training investment, your learning experience should be driven by a process of intellectual discovery. D. Hughes & Co. believes that you should expect more than being lectured on material that you can read for yourself.

Our proprietary long-term memory development techniques help you remember more of what you learn for a longer period of time than any other approach can provide.

Success Factors

Courses written or delivered by D. Hughes & Co. significantly outperform others both in student satisfaction surveys and in follow-up reports of on-the-job effectiveness. The primary success factor is that the learning experience is prescriptive, that is, it engages the experience of the adult student to understand why a concept, tool, or technique may or may not be relevant under real-life circumstances. The course material and instructional delivery techniques of D. Hughes & Co. do more than describe - they prescribe the concepts, tools, and techniques which are appropriate under a wide range of conditions.

These prescriptive techniques are supported by statistical methods of continuous quality improvement.

Mission Statement

D. Hughes & Co. emphasizes quality over quantity.

We offer a manageable number of first-rate courses in four curricula: project management, Microsoft Office Project, business analysis, and general management. Courses are delivered through three learning channels: blended learning, on-site instructor-led training, and instructor-led public classes.

Instructor-led training is delivered in the Philadelphia, New York, Washington, D. C., and Baltimore metropolitan areas.

D. Hughes & Co. charges no expense overhead to on-site customers in the mid-Atlantic region.
