Project Management for Beginners (with PMI-CAPM)

Course details

The Project Management Institute (PMI) defines Project Management by first explaining what a project is, i.e. a temporary group activity designed to produce a unique product, service or result. A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources. The development of software for an improved business process, the construction of a building or bridge, the relief effort after a natural disaster, the expansion of sales into a new geographic market — all are projects.

Project management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills and techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently. It's a strategic competency for organisations, enabling them to tie project results to business goals — and thus, better compete in their markets.

This bundle contains 2 entry-level foundation courses in project management, and 1 entry-level certification course in project management. It is ideal for anyone looking to gain entry into the project management field. The majority of certifications and skills gained on this course can be applied across all industries.

What's in the Bundle?

This bundle contains 3 separate courses; the first 2 of which are skills based only, but do offer a certificate of completion upon passing the assessments within the course. The third course leads to a fully recognised entry-level project management certification known as the CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management).

By enrolling onto this course, you will get access to ALL 3 of the following courses:

• Introduction to Project Management
  
• Project Management Skills for Non-Project Managers
  
• PMI Associate in Project Management (CAPM)
  

Are there exams involved and how much do they cost?

After completing the CAPM, you have the option to get certified. In order to do this, you must first sit an official exam. Before doing this however, you must have registered for your examination with the Project Management Institute (PMI) and received your Authorization to Test (ATT) letter prior to scheduling your testing appointment at a Prometric Testing Center. We can provide you with complete guidance on this process.
