Virtual classroom training allows you to benefit from real-time instruction from the comfort of your home or office. You benefit from the same interactions as an on-site class and will be able to ask questions of the instructor. Since the exams are not done on paper during the course but online, you will also benefit from time to study and prepare until you are ready to obtain the certification.
What are the course prerequisites?
There are no prerequisites for the course. You must work or have a good knowledge of project portfolio management or be a senior project manager. You must complete approximately 3 hours of study prior to class. We will provide you with all the reading material you need.
