DescriptionAbout this Learning Opportunity

Project management career opportunities are increasing as more organizations look to maintain and improve their productivity. Developing the project management skills employers demand can improve your marketability and may be transferable from one industry to another, giving you increased flexibility. In this online course, you will learn project management essentials needed for success as a project manager or if you work on projects in other related support roles. Once complete, you will meet or exceed the educational prerequisites for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification offered through the Project Management Institute (PMI)®. The materials in this CAPM certification course are aligned with the internationally recognized standards of project management and cover the domains in the CAPM Exam Content Outline. This CAPM prep course is oriented to project management concepts such as schedule, cost, risk, and communications. Each lesson in your CAPM training focuses exclusively on a single topic, so you can more easily grasp that topic before moving on to the next. Project management skills are needed in almost every field and mastering the roles and responsibilities of project management can separate you from the rest of the workforce. Successful project management means leading your team through the completion of a project on time, within budget, and aligned with your company's goals –and even the smallest projects can benefit from these processes. In this online project management course, you will learn project management techniques and become prepared to take the CompTIA Project+ certification exam. Although the CompTIA Project+ credential is primarily an Information Technology project management certification, it validates project management skills to employers, both inside and outside the Information Technology profession. The CompTIA Project+ certification also validates the communication and business skills you need to lead projects with confidence, complete projects on time, and make sure you stay within budget. During this course, you will start with an overview of CompTIA Project+ exam and then dive into project management fundamentals and review project life cycle phases. You will understand the factors influencing project management activities and be able to analyze business cases, project selection, project charter, and stakeholder identification. You will expand your understanding of Agile frameworks and hybrid frameworks and explore scope management on waterfall projects and Agile projects. The course also covers many other crucial factors such as data security, quality control, budget planning and management, communication techniques, software selection and how to track performance and manage issues, impediments, and blockers. This program includes a voucher for the CompTIA Project+. This program does not cover the cost to sit for the CAPM exam.
