What is Project Management Essentials?

Project Management Essentials teaches the mechanics of strong project management, including how to get people on board and achieve successful results. Participants can expect to be fully engaged while learning and applying a step by step approach to help reduce the risk and uncertainty associated with project completion.

The content in this training is based on the Project Management Institute’s (PMI)® standards and knowledge areas. Those who attend this course are eligible for 16 PDUs (professional development units) to apply towards continuing certification requirements. The units can also be applied as 16 hours of project management education towards PMP® or CAPM® certifications. This course is not specifically designed as a certification preparation course, but the content covered matches closely with the PMP® or CAPM® exams.

Project Management Essentials is available online, in person at our training facility in Grand Rapids, or onsite anywhere in the United States.
