We are excited to announce a newly-designed Project Management course that has some key differentiators to others available in the market today. It uses highly experienced and certified instructors to provide comprehensive project management training and certification preparation. Additionally, this 13-evening course uses a unique balance of exercises, teamwork, and practice tests to create an environment highly conducive for learning.

Course Overview
Most projects fail because of poor planning. Avoid the mishaps by enrolling into this program!  This course provides practical guidance by highly experienced and certified instructors on both project management and exam preparation, emphasizing key points that are typically included in the PMP and CAPM exams.

This course combines instructor presentations with interactive team exercises and one-on-one mentoring to teach the Project Management fundamentals needed on the job. The course is designed to help develop and practice critical project management skills in an environment that is both fun and conducive to learning. The new skills learned in this course can be used immediately allowing students to experience more success as a project manager in their day-to-day job responsibilities. Class interaction and exercises are featured in every session, and students evaluate sessions on a regular basis to enhance instructor-student communications.

This course also prepares you to take the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. The PMP is the most widely known, professionally recognized project management certification. Having this certification will help you establish a students experience and skills in the eyes of hiring managers and peers. In addition, this course helps students prepare for PMI’s Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) certification. In order to fully prepare students for the certification exam, practice exams are used throughout the course.
