Plotting Your PM Certification Journey
🧠 PMI NS Virtual Lunch & Learn: Plotting Your PM Certification Journey
This event will explore popular credentials such as PMP, CAPM, and Agile certifications, along with exam preparation strategies, timelines, and career benefits. As well, part of the conversation will highlight some of the courses Dal offers that align with those certification topics. Whether you’re just starting out or advancing to a senior PM role, you’ll leave with a personalized roadmap to achieve your certification goals.
With an ever-growing number of PM certification options from PMI, IPMA, Canadian Construction Association, Scrum Alliance, and other bodies, the certification landscape is getting muddled. What are the differences between these options and which ones do employers really value?
In this eye-opening session from PM certification expert Kevin Aguanno, PMP, PMI-ACP, learn how PMI's vision for PM certification has evolved, how PMI is responding to pressures from other international groups, and where it is likely headed. Learn about PMI's recent acquisition of organizations offering PM-related certifications and how they fit into PMI's overall strategy. Finally, discover what other PM-related certifications employers value in the current marketplace and which Dalhousie University Open Learning and Career Development courses prepare you for those certifications.
Whether you are new to project management or a seasoned expert with decades of experience, we guarantee you'll come away with new insights, a better understanding of how (and why) the PM profession is evolving, and ideas for growing your own professional development.
