The skills & knowledge gained from this course will help you avoid making costly mistakes and enhance your overall job performance. Participants will apply the generally recognized best practices of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) determined by the Project Management Institute (PMI)® to successfully manage and complete projects.

The Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is one of the top-paying certifications in the United States, and project managers who complete this certification earn 20% more than those without. Project management experts are in high demand because it is a role that can ensure major projects are executed successfully. The Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is governed by the Project Management Institute. It is considered the gold standard for project management certifications and validates skills across predictive, hybrid, and agile project approaches and tests your understanding of people skills such as building teams, managing conflict, addressing challenges, and process skills that emphasize the technical aspects of project management such as managing risk, schedules, budgets, and assessing the business environment to make projects successful.
