  Project Management  

"Most courses tend to teach what project management is. This teaches the student how to do it.

It has resulted in an increased use of a common project management methodology.

Communications have also improved via the use of commonly understood project management terminology."

Project Management Business Solutions
Research has shown 66 percent of all projects come in over budget or are overdue, while 28 percent of projects fail altogether. CompTIA, using the National IT Apprenticeship System (NITAS) Web-based skills validation tool, has created a solution that will significantly improve your project success rate. NITAS, developed by CompTIA and the U.S. Department of Labor, ensures that the IT workforce maintains a global competitive advantage, achieved through rapid adaptation to technological innovation, consistently high productivity of IT workers, and utilization of superior training and development approaches. Apprenticeship is a centuries-old, proven method of training that provides classroom instruction, industry certification and on-the-job training. NITAS, is a 21st Century Apprenticeship system that incorporates all three elements with a critical competency sign-off that ensures a knowledge and skills transfer has taken place between the apprentice and mentor. Give your employees the skills to successfully complete projects.

The CompTIA Project Management Business Solution teaches organizations how to integrate project management into their business plan. Employees learn by bringing actual projects into the classroom.

There are four elements that make this a unique and effective approach:
  • Classroom training - Classes are taught by experienced project managers whose knowledge enhances the training and increases students' understanding and retention.

  • On-the-job coaching - Your senior-level project managers works closely with the participants to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to apply their classroom learning to real job-related projects.

  • System tools - A Web-based tool enables participants and their employers to see their progress as they move through the training, ensuring each participant has mastered the project management competencies.

  • CompTIA Project+ certification - Each student will receive a voucher for the CompTIA Project+ certification exam. This is a globally recognized credential that validates participants have solid project management knowledge and skills. It covers the entire project life cycle from initiation and planning through execution, acceptance, support and closure. Unlike some project management certifications, CompTIA Project+ can be acquired in a quick and cost-effective manner. There are no prerequisites, and candidates are not required to submit an application or complete additional hours of continuing education. Click here to learn more about CompTIA Project+
