Unlike other popular Project Management certifications, the Management and Strategy Institute does not require a college degree or project experience for our certification. Our project management certification is based on your ability to learn and understand project management fundamentals. The certification title is Project Management Qualified (PMQ)®.
To be certified, you’ll need to pass the Project Management Qualified (PMQ)® certification exam. The price of $199.95 includes the certification exam plus project management training material to prepare you for the exam. Previous experience in project management could be useful, but is not required.
Project managers have the responsibility of planning and proper execution of a project. Project managers can work in any industry and their skillset can be an asset to both small and large organizations. They must have strong communication skills and a good understanding of how to properly organize and map out a project. Project costs, time, and overall quality are critical components of a project, and the project manager is the one in charge. Meeting the needs of project stakeholders means understanding how to manage risk while leading teams and controlling costs.
When we think of project management, the construction industry is often the first industry that comes to mind. In reality, most industries have project management roles. Whether it be Engineering, Software Development, Healthcare or Manufacturing, a project manager takes on the responsibility of keeping projects on-track.
Having a Project Management Certification on your resumé can show potential employers you have the skills to manage projects of importance to the organization. Because the PMQ doesn’t have a project requirement, this certification is available to anyone who has the time and ambition to learn project management principles. All study material is completed 100% online and can be done from home or work. The exam is also issued online.
