Online Project Management Certification Training

TheCourse™ Online is designed to teach the core competencies of project management while preparing students for PMP® certification by the Project Management Institute. Students learn how to use the tools of project management - not just their names. Due to its high quality and fair price, TheCourse™ is the preferred PMP preparation vehicle of higher education, US Government agencies and their contractors, and financial institutions.

The emphasis of TheCourse™ is teaching the core competencies of Project Management as defined by PMI and set forth in the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). TheCourse™ is packed with explanations, examples and references to provide insight into tangential topics, e.g., 6-sigma.

One of the common PMBOK 'Tools and Techniques' is Project Management Software. To assure that the student appreciates the significance of this tool, TheCourse™ includes numerous illustrations of how functions are performed using Microsoft Project 2003. The purpose is to lend visibility and perspective to preparation of project plans and schedules, resource leveling, earned value and other areas where the two subjects overlap.
