PMP and CAPM
The importance of successful project management in national and international projects is growing every day. Project management competency and standardisation pioneered by the globally recognised Project Management Institute (PMI) is becoming increasingly popular and widely accepted in the UK and throughout the world.
Through the application of the PMI management methodologies and the techniques contained in their Body of Knowledge guide (PMBOK), best practice is assured providing increased schedule adherence, higher quality outputs and lower costs, leading to greater profitability.
A successful project team will use common terms of project management, providing the same communication language, which is particularly important for international projects, as well as the opportunity for benchmarking against other programmes.
PMI professional certification ensures you:
- Ready to meet the demands of projects across the globe.
- Solidify your skill set
- Face project challenges
- Increase your salary and earnings
- Find a Project Management position in the UK or across the world with a PMI certification.
