PMP Practice: Measure training outcomes

Sage Volkov-Thompson is managing a three-year government infrastructure project to upgrade water treatment facilities across five regional sites. The project follows a detailed sequential plan with regulatory milestones, fixed-price contracts, and strict compliance documentation requirements. During planning, Sage identifies that eight engineers on the team lack experience with the specialized industrial control systems that will be installed. A vendor offers two training options: a comprehensive four-week certification program covering system architecture, troubleshooting, and compliance protocols, or a condensed two-day agile workshop focused on iterative learning and just-in-time problem-solving. The vendor representative emphasizes that 'agile approaches are the modern way to learn.' However, the project schedule shows installation work beginning in six weeks, and regulatory inspections require engineers to demonstrate certified competency before operating the systems. Which training option should Sage select?
