Terms
Short version: everything here is written carefully and checked against published sources, and none of it is advice. Before you spend money or years on the strength of something on this page, confirm it with whoever owns the answer.
Using this site
By using Veterans in Project Management you're agreeing to what's on this page. If you don't, the site isn't for you and there's nothing else to do about it.
Accuracy
Information on this site is compiled with all reasonable endeavors, but no statement is made as to its accuracy. You're reminded to make your own inquiries with the relevant bodies before making any decisions.
In practice that means checking with the certifying body, the VA, your service education office, your security manager or the school itself, depending on what you're deciding. Certification requirements, exam fees, renewal rules and funding programs all move, and they're not always announced loudly. Every perishable figure in our training guides carries the date it was read and a source you can check, precisely so you can verify it rather than take our word for it. Where a figure and the issuer disagree, the issuer is right.
This isn't advice
Nothing here is legal, financial, tax, career or educational advice, and using this site doesn't create a professional relationship of any kind. We're not the Project Management Institute, PeopleCert, CompTIA, Scrum Alliance, the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, your service, your employer or your school, and we don't speak for any of them.
The views of hosts and guests are their own. They don't represent any branch of service, employer or organization anyone is affiliated with.
Where our interests lie
Our independence is editorial rather than commercial, and the difference is the whole point. A co-host of this show owns a company that trains for the PMP® and the CAPM®, a co-host teaches at a university whose degree program is named in our guides, and the show carries advertising. What that buys nobody is a change to the advice: we name the credential that's right for the reader, we say plainly when one isn't worth it, and we disclose the relationship wherever a provider or a school is named. If guidance here would survive an advertiser's edit, we shouldn't have published it.
Trademarks
Certification names are used on this site to identify the credentials we're writing about. Their owners have no involvement in this site and none of them endorse it.
- PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP and PMI are marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc.
- PRINCE2, ITIL, MSP and P3O are marks of PeopleCert, which acquired them from AXELOS.
- Certified ScrumMaster and CSM are marks of Scrum Alliance, Inc.
- CompTIA and CompTIA Project+ are marks of the Computing Technology Industry Association, Inc.
- Any other product, program or organization name used here belongs to its owner.
We mark the registered credentials on their first use on a page, and on every use in an episode's own show notes, highlights and chapters. Where we don't repeat the symbol, that's a readability decision, not a claim about who owns what. Transcripts are a record of what someone said out loud, so they carry no symbols at all.
Our content
Episodes, show notes, transcripts, training guides and After Action Reports are ours, and they're free to read, quote and link to. Quote what's useful and credit the show. What isn't fine is republishing a guide or a transcript wholesale as your own, or repackaging any of it into a paid product.
Guests keep the rights to their own words and appear by consent. If you were a guest and something needs correcting or withdrawing, email podcast@veteransinprojectmanagement.com.
Links out
We link to certifying bodies, government programs, schools and occasionally sponsors. Those sites are theirs, not ours. A link isn't an endorsement and we can't be responsible for what's on the other end of it or for what it does with your details.
Liability
This site is provided as it is. To the fullest extent the law allows, we're not liable for any loss arising from a decision you made on the strength of something here, including money spent on a credential, a course or a degree. That's what the accuracy section above is asking you to protect yourself against.
Governing law
This site is operated from the United States. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law rules, and any dispute arising out of them belongs in the state or federal courts sitting in Florida.
