The R.E.P. Program is designed to enhance the ongoing professional development of PMI Members, Project Management Professionals (PMPs), and other project management stakeholders through participation in various learning experiences and activities related to the field of project management. Established in 1999 as a service to PMI members and stakeholders worldwide, the Registrered Education Provider Program was initially envisioned as a means of identifying project management training available in the global marketplace.  From less than fifty registered providers in its first year, the R.E.P. Program has grown to over 700 training providers in 56 countries, on six continents across the globe in 2006.
