1 PMP Certification Preparatory Course Why Project Management Professional (PMP ) Certification? In today's flexible organization, the boundaries between functions are becoming less defined.

Could we do better? There is no simple answer, but this project management course should enable you to anticipate and cope with some of the problems that you may meet. The course will Equip you with the required knowledge tools and techniques for managing projects, including those with a significant technological element. Give you experience of using project management competencies that are applied to real life projects.
