Certificate in Project Management {24-25}

Project Management Certificate

Description
Businesses, non-profit, education, and organizations are all recognizing the value of project management beyond its traditional use in information technology. This certificate is designed for business and non-business employees who would like to add the project management skill to their respective discipline. The certificate will focus on the methodology, software, stakeholder management, risk, liability, project leadership, and change management—all vital parts of being a successful project manager in your area of expertise. Regardless of industry, institution or degree specialization, Project Management is a core competency that will teach employees how to manage projects within their discipline with a solid methodology to ensure their projects are on time, within budget, and of high quality. The series of courses in the certificate (if employee is interested) will prepare them to take CAPM exam from PMI.org.
This certificate is intended for non-project management majors and pairs well with business, computer science, and non-business degrees. All industries and roles need employees to be able to manage products.
