Currently having the PMP (Project Management Professional) is the fastest career accelerator in the marketplace! Google 'PMP' or look at most job listings and you will see ''PMP required or desired.' One of the requirements to sit for the PMP exam is to have a 35-hour course in project management.
The certificate we offer covers that requirement and as a standalone shows any future employer that you have an in-depth knowledge in the area.
