Hands-on Learning Project
This program is uniquely mapped to key job skills required in project management roles. In each course, you will integrate what you have learned by completing a capstone project that simulates real-world project management scenarios. You will also complete a final capstone project in which you will work on solving a fictional business problem as a project manager. The project will include practice in:
• A real-world scenario that focuses on managing a project throughout the full project life cycle, using Microsoft Excel as a project management tool to track, manage, and oversee project processes. Experience managing a project from concept to completion, delivering the intended project benefits, and resolving issues as they arise.
To demonstrate your learning, you will take a simulation exam set up in a similar style to the industry-recognized PMP® certification exam, which is the global standard in project management certification.
