David Barrett - Program Director on why THE MASTERS CERTIFICATE IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT builds excellent Project Managers...

Introduction & Background:

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, on alternating Friday/Saturday sessions over five or six 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.

Why Choose The Masters Certificate in Project Management?

The Masters Certificate in Project Management program is built around the “Project Management Body of Knowledge” (PMBOK™) of the Project Management Institute, Inc.

Our curriculum covers all nine (9) areas, of which eight (8) are tested in the PMI certification exam:

Our master’s certificate training modules are scheduled on Friday and Saturday, minimizing the interruptions to your work schedule, an innovative approach which is fair to both the employer and the employee.

Courses are dynamic, thorough and interactive. They help the student learn to apply the principles and techniques of project management in realistic situations.

Preparation for the PMP® Certification and the Exam

Convenient Program Format

Our program consists of a short assignment handed out after each class creating about two hours of homework over the two weeks between classes. Each of these assignments ties the whole program together and serves as the background work for the project simulation that you will run through at the end of the program. A final test is administered at the end of the program covering material taught throughout the program. This test is meant to give all students an idea of the material that they have retained and some of the areas that they may need to review at a later date.
