SUMMARY:Project Management Training: CAPM

This certification focuses on the fundamentals of project management and covers areas such as project scope\, schedule\, cost\, quality\, and communication management. CAPM certification can be a good entry-level certification for those who are looking to gain basic project management knowledge and skills. \n\n\n\nOn the other hand\, PMP certification is designed for experienced project managers who have at least three years of project management experience and have completed a minimum of 35 hours of project management education. The PMP certification exam covers a broad range of project management concepts and skills\, including project integration\, scope\, time\, cost\, quality\, resource\, risk\, and stakeholder management. \n\n\n\nIn summary\, while CAPM certification is suitable for beginners\, PMP certification is more appropriate for experienced project managers who are looking to advance their careers and gain recognition for their expertise. \n\n\n\nLearn more about the CAPM: Certified Associate in Project Management | PMI

SUMMARY:PMI Certification Exam Prep (CAPM/PMP)
DESCRIPTION:“In today’s competitive business climate\, there is an increasing demand for decreasing costs and inefficiencies and incorporating practices that bring value through higher production and better quality. With an expectation of increased ROI\, collaborative\, project-style work and change management have become key methods to drive results. But most organizations face challenges that lead to projects that fail to meet their objectives\, despite being funded and managed by highly capable professionals. \n\n\n\nThe difference between project success and the inability to see projects through to successful completion is professionals who have the fundamental project management skills required to drive progress and deliver value. \n\n\n\nProject management is a broad term often applied to a number of different jobs within a company. No matter your department\, your background or your experience level (beginner\, intermediate or advanced)\, you will add value to your organization with applicable project management skills.” \n\n\n\nDays: Friday & Saturday Classes \n\n\n\nSessions: 12 Classes Total  \n\n\n\nTime: 8am – 12pm EST \n\n\n\nRegister: Tri-C Corporate College Project Management: Cleveland\, Ohio \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister: Tri-C Corporate College Project Management: Cleveland\, Ohio
