Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, and techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently. It’s a strategic competency for organizations, enabling them to tie project results to business goals—and thus, better compete in their markets.
PMI® is a not-for-profit organization that advances the project management profession through globally recognized standards and certifications, collaborative communities, an extensive research program, and professional development opportunities. It is one of the world's largest professional membership associations, with half a million members and credential holders in more than 185 countries.

The advantage of attending an offline classroom over an online course is rather intangible. One could choose to sit in a room and listen to a video about a topic, or choose to interact with a bunch of people in a classroom. The experience in a classroom is far beyond the value that is provided by interacting with the course instructor. Mostly, it’s the peer group that attends the course and brings different perspectives that opens one's horizon towards learning.
Please hear the views from one of the participants from IIM Bangalore about online vs offline learning experience: http://blog.iimb.ac.in/online-vs-offline-study/

Yes, we provide weekend PMP training programs over 5 Saturdays. One may think why not finish the trainings in 2 to maximum 3 weekends instead of 5 Saturdays.
SABCONS, as an organisation, believes in efficiency over convenience in delivering the training. An individual who will attend a 2 or 3 week Sat + Sun training will also be managing work for 5 business days. This means she / he will have to stretch for 19 days without a break until the course completes. However, in a 5 Saturday program the individual gets a break on every Sunday. This will allow her / him some time to reflect / recharge before the next week and avoid burnout, hence learning becomes fun. We would also like to quote examples from the IIMs who never conduct a course on Sundays with the same rationale as there needs to be balance between work, life and education.
