Online Certificate in Project Management

Want to learn project management, but don't have the time to come to class?

We offer an online certificate program to help you develop your project management skills or prepare for the PMP® exam. You'll work at your own pace and have one year to complete the 23 web-based courses required to earn the certificate. The course content is aligned with the project management knowledge areas outlined in the PMBOK® Guide, Third Edition published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®). This course fulfills PMI®'s educational requirement for all persons applying for PMP® certification. Application and information can be obtained at www.pmi.org.

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.
