Consulting FAQs
What kind of organizations do you work with?
We work with private sector firms, NGOs, international organizations, and government agencies operating in Afghanistan. Teams range from 10-person start-ups to 500+ employee organizations.
How does a typical engagement start?
We start with a discovery conversation (no cost), share a short proposal with scope, timeline, and pricing, and agree on success indicators before work begins.
How long does a consulting engagement last?
Focused assessments take 2–6 weeks. Implementation engagements run 3–12 months with defined milestones. We stay engaged through adoption — not just the report.
Do you sub-contract or deliver the work yourselves?
Our senior consultants lead delivery directly. We bring in associates only for specialist scope (for example, sector M&E or niche technical work) with the client informed up-front.
Training FAQs
Who delivers your training programs?
BARYA is Afghanistan's first PMI® Authorized Training Partner (ATP ID 4181, since 2020 — formerly a PMI Registered Education Provider since 2015). PMP® preparation is delivered using PMI-developed and PMI-licensed materials. Programs are led by senior practitioners with certifications such as PMP, PRINCE2, Prosci, and industry backgrounds across NGOs, the private sector, UN agencies, and government.
Are sessions offered in Dari and Pashto?
Yes. Corporate classes can be delivered in Dari, Pashto, or English. Public programs default to English with bilingual support material; we adapt per request.
How long is the PMP® Exam Preparation program?
PMP exam prep is delivered over 35 contact hours, which also satisfies the 35 PDU requirement for PMP application eligibility. It runs over 5 consecutive days or weekends on request.
Can you run an in-house program for our organization?
Yes — we tailor classes for 8–30 participants, on site in Kabul or virtually. We adjust case studies and exercises to your industry and operational realities in Afghanistan.
Do participants receive certificates?
Yes. All participants receive a BARYA certificate of completion. PMI-aligned programs include PDU documentation.
What does training cost?
Public programs start from $400 per participant. Corporate classes are priced per engagement. We also offer partial scholarships for women-led organizations and non-profits — ask us.
