Project Management Certificate
Delivering complex projects on time and on budget is critical in any industry. Aligned with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) best practices, our part-time program provides the tools and strategies to manage projects from initiation to completion. You’ll develop materials such as project charters and project management plans that you can apply directly to your practice. You’ll also learn how to use Agile methodologies and implement technology and AI tools to improve efficiency, enhance decision-making and drive innovation.
