Practitioner Certificate in
Project Management Program
The Systemation Practitioner Certificate in Project Management Program gives students a solid command of project management fundamentals. It instills in seasoned and novice project managers alike the basic processes, tools and people skills necessary to successfully manage small- to mid-sized projects and achieve desired business results.
Consisting of four comprehensive workshops, the Practitioner Certificate Program emphasizes the successful planning and initiation phases of the project management discipline. In addition to providing technique-based competencies, the Practitioner Certificate Program teaches students the "softer" skills as well, such as negotiation techniques, getting management buy-in and effectively working with others.
