Once you’ve identified your priorities, Customized Training and Development Services can design a solution shaped to your organizational needs.
The NC State Continuing and Lifelong Education Project Management Certificate Program is taught by PMI®-certified instructors and built around your goals. Courses run online and in person, so you can keep working while you earn the credential. Complete five courses, four required and one elective, in under a year or take up to three. Choose a PMP® track, a general track or individual courses for PDU and CEU hours.
