The skill to successfully lead and manage projects – large or small – is essential in the corporate business world. It’s critical that you have the best tools and techniques at your disposal. The Project Management Institute® (PMI) model and foundation are globally recognized as the gold standard.
Training can make or break the success of organizational projects. There is a definite correlation between organizations who spend the time and money to train their project managers and the number of successful project completions. Certified project managers could demonstrate that greater than 80% of their projects were completed on time, on budget and met the business intent.
The Master Certificate in Project Management is a series of interactive seminars designed to provide project managers with skills to increase their earning potential and maximize the success of their organization’s projects.
To complete a Master Certificate in Project Management, you must complete a total of 8 project management classes.
