About the field

According to the Wall Street Journal, the job of project manager is one of the “hottest” in business today. Successful companies and organizations in the financial services, engineering, manufacturing, service, IT, nonprofit, and public sectors use project management to achieve breakthrough results. The powerful and versatile tools of project management are transferable to any work environment, and can be used to manage any project, no matter how complex. To be successful as a project manager, you need to understand not only your business requirements, but also know how to effectively plan, organize, control, and lead a project throughout its entire life cycle. This certificate gives you hands-on experience with practical tools, including the use of software, risk management assessment, and team techniques that support effective project management. It is also a great starting place to attain the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP) designation.
