Projects are becoming more complex, project managers and teams are often being asked to do more with less, and executives and clients expect innovation, agility, and responsiveness. We offer project management training, leading to a Professional Certificate in Project Management, designed to give project managers (and any other professionals who work on projects) the tools they need to successfully manage any type of project – regardless of scope or industry.

Key Project Management Training Takeaways

• Plan and manage projects effectively, whatever your job title may be, 
  
  
• Master communication skills that will improve team decision-making,
  
  
• Delineate, assign, and track project timelines, resources and associated costs,

The program will be of most benefit to professionals who are:

SDSU's Online Project Management Certificate course is a great way to learn the fundamentals of the PMBOK® Guide, with all of its knowledge areas and process groups. As a working parent, I appreciated the flexibility of being able to spend time studying when I wanted rather than following a strict timetable of a traditional course. The examples and the tests helped to cement in the knowledge gained in the body of the course. All of the course material could be easily printed to hard copy for study, which I can still use as a handy reference. I believe the Online Project Management Certificate course laid a strong foundation that helped me attain PMP® certification a couple of years later.
