A project manager’s mission is to bring ideas to life in a professional setting; they are the facilitator and coordinator of teams that have been assigned to deliver something of value to an organization. Therefore, project managers require leadership and critical thinking skills in order to bring the experiences of many together, taking great ideas and turning them into reality. During this course, you will work in small teams throughout to apply what is being taught in simple case studies. When the course is complete, you will have the confidence and skills needed to deliver immediate value, and you will earn professional development hours should you decide to pursue your PMP® certification.

Career Outlook:

Project managers with formal training and credentials stand out in the market. The Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential is considered the global gold standard in certifications, but obtaining this credential requires formal project management training and demonstrated experience in the discipline.

Based on the 2023 salary survey performed by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), 66% of respondents reported compensation increases over the past twelve months, with 61% stating greater than 5% increases.
