PMI-SCHEDULING PROFESSIONAL (PMI-SP®)
Project Management is by far the fastest growing career in South Africa today. This course is designed to dramatically increase the performance of project teams. It is for those who intend to develop professional project skills and competencies.
We recommend that learners who have not undertaken any formal course in project management should commence with our Fundamentals of Project Management course. The need for a nationally, and internationally, recognised certification in Project Management has grown.
At present there is only one recognised project management certification (note certification not certificate) available in SA that addresses both the academic and practical side of the profession, the Project Management Professional certification (PMP®).
DURATION:
The course runs over a 14 weeks period. Students need 6 months to adequately prepare for the exam. So, ample time is allocated to revision. The programme can be taken on long distance.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
· A recognized qualification from an education institution or
· Articulation from a PMI course or
