PMP is the only certification recognized worldwide as a standard for project management capability and experience. It is rapidly gaining acceptance and strength and as of November 2014, there are more than 620,000 PMPs worldwide. PMP certification is now a minimum requirement for appointment of senior project managers in many local and international companies. A PMP certification tells employers you have a solid foundation of project management knowledge that can be readily applied in the workplace.
PMP expert Robin Halliday will teach key concepts, techniques and practices to help participants pass the PMP certification exam with confidence. Halliday earned her bachelor鈥檚 degree from the University of Washington and her master鈥檚 degree from Western. She spent more than 25 years as a manager for a software company, during which time she also taught business software and management classes throughout the United States and Canada and provided training to many companies. Halliday has taught PMP preparation for more than five years through Western鈥檚 Extended Education and more recently began to teach lean startup and entrepreneurship as well.
