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.
