Project Management

Project management skills are in high demand today. Industry reports consistently indicate that a project manager’s skill set is one of the
primary contributing factors to the success or failure of a project.  Our comprehensive line of project management training courses cover such
critical topics as how to plan, organize, control, document, and close out projects successfully and with minimum risk. From fundamental to
advanced skill levels, our courses build project management skills.

Professional development isn't a one-time event but an ongoing part of a project management career.

We prepare learners for certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI). PMI's primary goal is to advance the practice, science and
profession of project management throughout the world in a conscientious and proactive manner so that organizations everywhere will
embrace, value and utilize project management and then attribute their successes to it.


Benefits of PMI Credentials

Training organizations that provide the ability for PMI credentialing provide not only benefits for individuals but the organizations that employ them
as well.

•For organizations: the most significant benefit of PMI credentials is that it allows them to assemble project teams of credential holders and reap
many rewards, ranging from improved processes and results to employee retention.
•For individuals: When your students obtain and maintain their PMI credentials, they not only get recognized for their skills and knowledge during
the vigorous credentialing process, but also demonstrate their dedication to the profession and professional development.

Certification is an important step in career development and recognizes qualified and competent individuals. Top reasons why project
management practitioners should become PMI-certified include:


Shows commitment to the project management profession while recognizing knowledge, skills and abilities
When you earn a PMI credential, you show peers, supervisors and clients your commitment to the profession, PMI's code of ethics and your
ability to perform the functions of a project management practitioner to a certain level.  PMI serves as an unbiased endorsement of your project
management knowledge and professional experience on a global level.


Reflect achievement and potential for greater earnings, career opportunities and advancement, preparing you for greater job
responsibilities.

Credentials show that you have demonstrated excellence in the field by meeting standard requirements established by global project
management practitioners.  Many credential holders experience salary increases because of their certification status.  Our family of credentials
identifies you as a practitioner who has demonstrated competency in project management processes or in knowledge and experience in
specialty areas of practice based on industry standards.  Our credentials indicate your willingness to invest in professional development. This
enables credential holders an awareness of changing processes and terminology in the field.


Improves skills, knowledge, self-confidence and enhances the profession, allowing for greater recognition from peers

Preparation for a PMI credential requires study and review of current project management processes.  Earning a credential highlights your
knowledge and competence and proficiency in your practice.  With a PMI credential, you define yourself beyond a job title while gaining a sense
of personal satisfaction.  PMI credential holders gain increased recognition from their peers for taking the extra step in professional development.
PMI's certification program promotes practitioners and supports ongoing professional development.

There are currently five credentials available and no one credential serves as a prerequisite for another. Element K authors the highest quality
