OverviewAfter completing your Masters Certificate in just 5 months of part-time study, you will have aquired the theoretical knowledge required to write the Project Management Institute's Project Management Professional (PMP®) qualifying exam. With both certificates, your career potential in the Project Management community knows no boundaries!
The Masters Certificate on Project Management was created in order to provide a fast-track, in-depth approach to the delivery of project management training that is Canadian in its roots as well as in its location and very importantly, that recognizes the shortage of time with which most project managers are faced. The program runs 18 days, in 2 or 3 day modules every second week, typically on alternating Friday/Saturday or Sunday/Monday sessions over four or five months. This format allows participants to keep a handle on their projects at work, and also gives them the chance to apply the learning between sessions.
The program was developed around the Project Management Institute's Body of Knowledge and covers all nine project management knowledge areas that are tested in the PMP certification exam.
- Professional Responsibility
- Procurement Management
- Risk Management
- Communications Management
- Human Resource Management
- Quality Management
- Cost Management
- Time Management
- Scope Management
- Integration Management
While the Certificate awarded is considered by most in the profession of project management as one step before the PMP Certification process (it has been awarded by The Schulich School of Business to over 8000 graduates since 1997 and in partnership with other universities across North America), it will first and foremost help you become an excellent project manager by supplying you with the knowledge, tools, templates and skills significantly ‘raise the bar’ in your everyday handling of projects.
Each course session covers the fundamentals of project management – the foundation knowledge areas required by all project managers. They are not industry specific and in fact the exercises come from many different industries.
The program is delivered by a series of professional project management trainers. These people are independent trainers who have experience not only as facilitators but as project managers as well. Most are certified Project Management Professional (PMP) by the PMI.
The program is directed and managed by David Barrett who is the Managing Director of ProjectWorld Canada and ProjectSummit US (North America’s largest project management conferences) and the Editor of ProjectTimes.com, one of North America’s most popular project management portals. David’s role in this program from it inception has ensured that the program is always up-to-date with the current trends and requirements of our project management community.
