Frequently Asked Questions

Can I register for training and pay with a PO or a check instead of paying with a credit card?
We’d prefer that you use our online registration system and pay for your training with a credit card. If your organization would like to request that we make an exception to this policy, please contact us at info@simplexgroup.com.
Do I have to travel to Pittsburgh in order to attend?
No. We understand that sometimes travel can be both inconvenient and cost-prohibitive. That’s why we’ve introduced what we call Virtual Training. Students anywhere in the world can attend our in-person training classes, by using the latest Web-conferencing technologies. It’s almost like being there in person. All you need is a phone, a computer, and an Internet connection. Details
Do I need to bring anything with me to training?
We provide your training materials, and a computer workstation with Primavera software for you to use, so there’s no need to bring anything other than a writing utensil.
What time will the class start, and when will it finish?
On training day(s), instruction will begin at 8:30 AM, and will continue until approximately 4:30 PM. We will take an hour’s break for lunch, and there will also be short mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks.
How do I get to your training facility?
It’s located at the headquarters of the Engineers’ Society of Western Pennsylvania (ESWP), at 337 4th Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Please click here for a map and driving directions. Feel free to call (412) 261-0710 if you find that you need additional driving directions. ESWP…
What do I wear?
Dress is casual; what’s most important is that you’re comfortable and ready to concentrate on your course information.
Does your training facility have Internet access?
Yes, it’s equipped with wireless Internet access, free of charge.
What happens if the weather is bad?
In extremely rare cases, we must make a last-minute decision to postpone a class. To confirm that your class is being conducted as scheduled, please visit this page before leaving your home or hotel on training day(s). If, for some reason, we must cancel or reschedule a class, we’ll make an announcement on that page.
