Scheduled Dates for BU169

The Project Management Fast Track is a hands-on program that is aligned with the Project Management Institute's (PMI) Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide). This program is designed to help you understand and pull together all the knowledge areas and processes of project management necessary to plan and execute, control and close successful projects. This program includes a Project Management Professional (PMP) Prep component to prepare you to take your PMP certification. A case study is threaded throughout the program, and includes activities (development of many of the planning deliverables and more), which enable participants to apply the lessons learned in the units to the projects they are currently on. The curriculum is presented in a dual fashion; the theory of PMI is balanced by the reality of the course instructors' project management experiences. The dual approach provides the student learner with real examples of the theory of PMI. There are numerous discussion topics throughout, along with exercises to reinforce what participants have learned in the classroom, which translates into opportunities for incorporation of improved practices into your current projects. Quizzes, also called knowledge checks are given after lessons to measure the students' progress. Additionally, a 100-question practice PMP certification exam is included. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be granted the 35 PDUs that are required before taking the PMP certification exam.

Target Audience
Program managers, project managers, and project leaders with experience managing project teams and a knowledge of the PMBOK. Individuals interested in obtaining their PMP certification should also attend.
