Professional Certificate in Project Management

PMI professionals come from virtually every major industry including aerospace, automotive, business management, construction, engineering, financial services, information technology, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and telecommunications. Continuing Studies at Western has designed its Professional Certificate in Project Management to enable participants to develop the advanced-level project management skills of analysis, critical thinking and evaluation that are sought after in all areas of the global workforce. This rigorous program has been developed for future project management professionals and managers, supervisors, and highly motivated individuals with career advancement objectives.

About the Program

This Professional Certificate program consists of five highly-integrated project management courses consistent with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBok) developed by the Project Management Institute, plus two business-related courses. The courses in this program have been compared to average undergraduate programs in intensity and time commitment.

Each in-class course is presented using a hands-on, case study approach. Chapter readings and web-based presentations will comprise the regular homework, while classroom sessions will focus on applying the concepts covered in the homework. Online courses are structured the same way as their in-class counterparts, making it relatively easy for students to alternate between formats over the course of completing the program. The first course, Introduction to Project Management, provides the foundational knowledge and terminology necessary for all other courses. The courses have been designed to be taken sequentially, however highly motivated individuals who wish to fast-track their progression may take more than one course at a time. Prerequisites must be adhered to, and students should be mindful of the intensity of each course.

Not all courses are offered every semester in both online and in-class formats. Students are advised to plan their course timetables carefully and register at least one week in advance of the start of each course. Students are encouraged to contact Continuing Studies if they require assistance in mapping their program progression and completion.

All Project Management courses (both in-class and online) are enhanced with online learning. Participants require access to the Internet. Please see our system requirements.
