Project management provides people with a powerful set of knowledge, skills and tools to improve their ability to plan, implement, and manage projects on time and on budget. The Project Management Institute defines a project as a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result.  There are elements of project management in everything that we do, and project management professionals come from virtually every major industry including business management, construction, engineering, financial services, information technology, healthcare, human resources and more. 

Continuing Studies at Western has designed its Professional Certificate in Project Management to enable participants to develop the advanced-level project management skills of analysis, critical thinking and evaluation that are sought after in all areas of the global workforce.  This rigorous program has been developed for both experienced project managers and those new to project management including professionals, managers, supervisors, and highly motivated individuals with career advancement objectives.

This Professional Certificate program is consistent with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK) developed by the Project Management Institute and covers all nine knowledge areas that are included in the PMP certification exam. Each course is presented using a hands-on, case study approach which blends theory with practical application. 
Continuing Studies at Western offers the Professional Certificate program in several different options, giving you flexibility and choice to meet your professional development needs.

The first course, Introduction to Project Management, provides the foundational knowledge and terminology necessary for all other courses. Not all courses are offered every semester in both online and in-class formats. Students are advised to plan their course timetables carefully and register at least one week in advance of the start of each course. Students are encouraged to contact Continuing Studies if they require assistance in mapping their program progression and completion.

All Project Management courses (both in-class and online) are enhanced with online learning. Participants require access to the Internet. Please see our system requirements.
