Overview
The purpose of the Project Management Certificate is to give learners significant knowledge and sufficient skills to take on the responsibility of managing a project for the first time and to enhance the abilities of managers who are already leading projects. The certificate is not a "certification" level of study nor is it a preparation series for those wishing to take the PMI PMP® (Project Management Institute's Project Management Professional certification) exam. To receive the certificate, learners must take each of the four required classes and complete a Project Management Applied Learning Review guided by an experienced project manager mentor.
