Are you interested in developing some of the most in-demand skills in the business world? The Project Management Certificate Program and PMP Exam Prep can immediately impact your workplace and prepare you to sit for the Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam.
Many organizations recognize the value of project management as an effective way to achieve business results. As the interest and demand for project management standardization increases, so does the demand for highly qualified project management practitioners.
The purpose of this course is to improve your knowledge and skills in project management and prepare you for the next step in your professional development. The course includes topics such as the life cycle of a project, project management processes, professional responsibility of a project manager, and, if you are planning to take the PMP Certification Exam, this course will help prepare you for the test. You will earn the project management education hours you need to qualify for PMI’s PMP Certification Exam.
Each participant will receive a binder with comprehensive handouts covered in class, a copy of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Fifth Edition, and other appropriate study materials as identified by the instructor.
This program was designed for working professionals seeking to further their knowledge and understanding of the skills required to successfully complete projects.

Testimonials
"I enjoyed this class even more than I expected to. Rich Priska is an excellent instructor who manages to make project management both accessible and fun. I would highly recommend this class for beginning and more advanced project managers alike."
Gina Sigillito, Austin, Texas
Project Management Certificate Program Graduate
“After taking the PMI course at UT, I found there was a fundamental shift in my approach to project management at my organization. By applying many of the PM skills learned in classes, I was surprised that not only my project delivery had improved but my stress levels greatly reduced. My instructor was excellent and shared tons of real world examples that were an added bonus to PMBOK information.”
Michelle Pollock, Austin, Texas
Project Management Certificate Program Graduate
"Excellent course! Very well organized with excellent materials. Well geared toward working people who need to get a high ROI from the little time they have for school. Rich’s experience as a “real, hands on” project manager is a critical factor that makes this course different from others. His experience as a project manager is with the large companies who are more mature with the project management process. Rich is also very open and responsive to class feedback in terms of making changes. Don’t get me wrong, he is not a pushover. He told us no on items that we need to learn or do in order to become a solid project manager. Parking and class location is very easy and convenient. Thumbs up!"
