                    training in 2024 must re-enroll. Please
                    complete the MILTON Enrollment Form.







                                    The first step towards registering for a bootcamp or leadercamp is to complete
                                    the Training Agreement Bootcamp/Leadercamp Form.





        When presenting the agreement to your supervisor and VP, you are requesting their approval to take the classes because
        bootcamps and leadercamps are only offered during the workday*, Monday through Friday. Before completing this form, please
        discuss with your supervisor how you should account for the time you are in class.


        There are three main options:
           » You may be able to bill the client for the time if the class content directly supports client tasking.
           » You may need to take this class on your own time perhaps during an extended lunch.
           » Your VP may allow you to bill their divisional overhead if they feel the class directly supports your tasking.




                    *There is one exception – The Project Management Professional (PMP) ATP Bootcamp: 8 Day Australia Cohort.
                    Laureano Pabello discovered a way to take this training on his personal time. Though this is an Australian Cohort,
                    the instructions are based here in the US. Laureano states the pace is manageable and the examples or scenarios
                    they discuss in class are relatable. The class is held five consecutive Mondays from 6 pm – 10 pm.







        After receiving your manager’s approval to attend, please complete the MILTON Enrollment Form.  There is no cost to enroll in
