The University of Delaware has teamed up with the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Project Management Institute to offer the Project Management Professional (PMP) and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) exam prep classes this fall.

The PMP exam prep course takes place Sept. 24 and Oct. 1; the CAPM exam prep takes place Oct. 8 and Oct. 15. Both courses consist of two full-day Saturday sessions, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in Newark, Delaware.

Both credentials are Project Management Institute (PMI)-administered certifications and are the most nationally and internationally recognized designations for project managers. PMI’s industry research predicts approximately 1.57 million new project management jobs will be created globally each year through 2020.

The UD workshops offer intensive preparation for PMI’s certification exams and focus on key topics documented in the PMI Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). The workshops also cover sample exam questions and best practices to prepare for the exam.

The PMP exam prep class is intended for experienced project managers or those who have completed a project management fundamentals class either at UD or elsewhere. The CAPM prep class provides project managers at earlier stages in their careers the opportunity to pursue the intermediate credential. In addition to passing the PMP or CAPM exam, requirements for earning either credential include project management experience and education requirements.

The programs are offered through UD’s Division of Professional and Continuing Studies. UD students and UD alumni are eligible for a discount when enrolling. Other discounts include a military/veterans discount, and a group discount when two or more individuals from one business or organization register for the program. Members of PMI Delaware Valley Chapter also receive a discount.
