Project Management Certificate Series

Overview

In the business world today, project managers aren't the only ones managing projects. Other professionals have been asked to take on project management as companies have realized the benefits it brings in areas such as time management and cost savings. If you are a project manager who would like to brush up on the fundamentals of the discipline or a professional who manages projects, the Project Management Certificate Series will teach you the best practices in project management.

Join the Certificate Series and you will:

  • Gain hands-on experience in moving a project through its life cycle
  • Minimize common errors that occur in the most important stages of a project
  • Become a Certified Professional Project Manager (CPPM designation)
  • Supplement your studies for the PMP® designation and earn the PDUs necessary to sit for the exam

Take all four programs to earn your certificate or take individual programs as needed for your professional development:

    • Define clear project requirements, assess project feasibility, and establish methods for identifying key stakeholders. You will also focus on identifying successful project outcomes.
    • Explore the differences between PERT and CPM network diagramming and why it is crucial to carrying out a successful project. You will assess the intended and unintended consequences of project scope risk.
    • Discover how team acquisition, development, redeployment, and project quality assurance are affected by your ability to influence and lead people associated with your projects.
    • Learn how to assess the intended outcomes versus the actual deliverables of a project through a project audit. You will also learn to manage change control, change management, and project phase reviews.
