Project Management Certificate

About the Program

The Project Management Certificate program is a structured series of courses that prepare students for careers in the planning and business fields. Designed for employees from organizations involved in engineering, research and development, data processing, construction, facilities management, manufacturing, corporate planning, finance, and marketing, the four required courses will enhance the skills of technical competence and practical applications.

When that training is with a Project Management Institute (PMI)® Registered Education Provider, you can be confident that your training aligns with A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) practices.
