Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification Training

Project Managers are in high demand world-wide, and the need for skilled, certified people is going to increase over the next 3-5 years.  Project management is a critical skill that crosses industries, whether you are in construction, medical, software development, information technology or any of the hundreds of other industries that need skilled project managers. 

If you are an information technology professional or work in a technology field, you are constantly involved in projects large and small. Having the ability to manage projects and understand the processes involved is a skillset that will separate you from the pack.  Being certified as a Project Management Professional proves you have the skills and experience necessary to get the job done.

PMIs Project Management Professional certification is recognized the world over and validates your skills and your ability to bring value to your company. 

According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), as the number of projects swell, the pool of credentialed talent is not keeping pace. In the Persian Gulf and China Sea regions alone — where entire cities are being built, seemingly overnight — a shortage of 6 million skilled project professionals is expected by 2013.  Add to that the fact that, of the 20 million people participating in projects worldwide, just one million have professionally recognized formal training on how to best execute those projects. One thing becomes clear: The demand for skilled project managers is at a critically urgent level.

Our PMP certification training series fully prepares you for the exam and gives you the information necessary to develop great project management skills in addition to preparing you for the exam.  Couple that training with over 3 hours of instruction on the new Microsoft Project 2010 gives you an excellent insight in how to manage projects and how to use the software necessary to do the job right.

Our instructor, Ashley Hunt, is a PMI certified Project Management Professional and an expert instructor who delivers the material in a fashion that makes it easy to learn and easy to follow.  She is one of the most sought-after PMP instructors around who truly enjoys imparting her knowledge to others.
