Course Description:

'' Project management is growing exponentially. It’s now used in virtually all industries, such as: healthcare, government, education, and banking. Projects are how these organizations streamline to improve productivity. As mid-level management positions are reduced, project managers fill the void. Expertise in project management is a source of security, prosperity and power to these survivors. To take the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification test, 35 contact hours of project management education are needed. These hours must include "content on project quality, scope, time, cost, human resources, communications, risk, procurement, and integration management." This course is not only a good overview, but it is precise preparation for the PMP.

The purpose of this program is to help you learn and understand project management as a discipline and a profession that rests with practitioners who apply and practice it similar to the way in which a lawyer applies and practices law or a doctor applies and practices medicine. There are three primary objectives to this program. The first objective is to provide a solid introduction to the understanding of project management. The second objective is to help you comply with the minimum 35 hours training as required by the Project Management Institute (PMI) before you take the Project Management Professional (PMP) examination, which will make you eligible to become a certified project manager. Lastly, we hope that you will learn how the use of project management will benefit you in your personal and professional life.

The information needed to achieve these objectives is provided in ten training modules covering all of the essential aspects of the discipline of project management. Use of short practice exams, discussion issues and examples will enhance your ability to learn and understand the practice and theory of project management, and prepare you for your Project Management Professional certification. There will be a reading assignment at the beginning of each module followed by a reading quiz. After you complete each reading assignment and reading quiz, you will proceed to the online portion of each module, which will expand on the reading assignments. In each training module, you will be presented with a story that follows a project. The story will present real-life examples of the concepts and practices presented throughout each module. In this scenario you will follow a project from beginning to end. As with any project, you will be presented with problems that will need to be dealt with and solved accordingly. Throughout the course you will be given the opportunity to make decisions and test your project management knowledge.

Upon registering, you are given an initial six months to complete the program. Should you need more time, you may request a 6-month extension at no additional charge.
