Demand for project management expertise is booming—everywhere. Across industries and sectors, geographies, and companies/ organizations large and small, project practitioners are in high demand. The Project Management Institute (PMI) certifications are the standard par excellence of the project management sphere.
PMI offers certifications for all experience levels in a variety of specializations. Earn those coveted certification letters—PMP, CAPM, DASM, and many more—and demonstrate to employers and colleagues that you know the business of project management.
Exam Prep & Training
To qualify for certification and prepare for the exam, you need a specified number of education/ training hours (the number of hours differs by accreditation). This is where the PMI Delaware Valley Chapter comes in.
For two core PMI certifications—Project Management Professional (PMP) and Certified Associate of Project Management (CAPM)—the Chapter offers the required Exam Preparation Courses.
