IU Northwest offers Project Management Fundamentals certification this spring for local business professionals

Classes begin May 25

 Indiana University Northwest’s Center for Professional Development (CPD), in the School of Business and Economics, is offering a Project Management Fundamentals (PMP) certification program this spring. Certification is available to business professionals in Northwest Indiana. Enrollees need not be IU Northwest students to take advantage of this certification program.

Project Management professionals use knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to manage and meet project requirements. This program will introduce participants to the field of project management and provide a foundational level of knowledge and skills to enhance the abilities of those desiring a career in this rapidly growing field.

The program will be conducted virtually and taught by a highly experienced, PMP-certified instructor. Classes begin May 25 and continue through September 8, with a two-week break for project work over the July 4 holiday. Classes meet Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.

CPD Director Jana Szostek said, “The PMP certification through the Project Management Institute requires a great deal of project management experience. This program is designed to help those who want to pursue project management as a career to get up to speed more quickly so that they can gain the experience needed for the industry standard certification, which is the PMP. This program is also ideal for those who assist project managers to help them better understand the project management process.”
