Two-Saturday workshop prepares students for industry-recognized certifications

In partnership with the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI-DVC), the University of Delaware’s Division of Professional and Continuing Studies (UD PCS) is offering a two-day, combined Project Management Professional (PMP®) and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) Exam Prep class July 14 and 21, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., on UD’s Newark campus.

PMP Exam Prep is for experienced project managers, or those who have completed a project management fundamentals class, and who meet the PMP exam requirements set by the Project Management Institute (PMI®). According to a 2017 survey by the Project Management Institute, the median salary of Project Management Professional credential holders is 23 percent greater than their non-credentialed peers. The PMI also reports that when more than one-third of an employer’s project managers are PMP-certified, organizations complete more of their projects on time and on budget while meeting original goals.

CAPM Exam Prep is for students who have completed UD’s Project Management Certificate program or a project management foundation course elsewhere. The CAPM credential is an entry-level certification designed for those with little or no actual project experience. The certification puts students on track toward eventual PMP status after they gain the necessary experience.

Potential discounts for PMP-CAMP Exam Prep are available for early registration, PMI-DVC members, UD alumni, active military members, veterans, two or more people from the same organization, and students who have completed UD’s Project Management Certificate program.
