PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Many project management training organizations have a Fundamentals / Introduction to Project Management (IPDI does) and many project management training organizations have a PMP Prep course (IPDI does). However, there is much more to project management than fundamentals and a heavily theory based PMP Prep course.

That is why IPDI offers this “Advanced Project Management Program,” to target individuals and organizations wanting to advance their knowledge beyond the superficial and theoretical to real-world, practical based project management methodologies.

If you want to enhance the knowledge and abilities of the project managers in your organization, and/or advance your own career, register now for one, some, or all the modules in IPDI’s Advanced Project Management Program.

"Highly Recommended"


"Both onsite and virtual presentations "work very well."

I can’t overstate how pleased we were with the programs that Doug taught for us in a live, online setting this summer. He spent time before the programs working with us to figure out exactly what our expectations were for virtual program delivery. He was able to convert his activities and exercises so that they worked well in the virtual setting. I have observed both his program delivery onsite and his program delivery live, online. The activities and exercises as well as his teaching style work very well in both types of delivery modalities. I highly recommend working with Doug to deliver live, online training. Your participants will benefit, and you will learn new expectations for live, online program delivery. — Marcie Stowell, Assistant Director of Executive Development Programs at Michigan State University’s Broad College of Business
