IPDI and Oakland University team up to offer this course to the public in Southeast Michigan!

The Project Management field has experienced extraordinary growth in recent years. The number of people entering the field is increasing by the tens of thousands every year. What can you do to distinguish yourself within the growing field of project management? Project Management Professional^® (PMP^®) certification, through the Project Management Institute^® (PMI^®), is recognized worldwide as the standard for measuring an individual's core knowledge, understanding, and application of project management principles and practices. 

However, obtaining your PMP certification is not easy. The knowledge tested is wide ranging and complex. The “Project Management Professional - Preparation for Certification” course, taught by a Project Management Professional, is specifically designed to prepare you for the PMP exam, both the knowledge tested as well as test taking techniques which could mean the difference between passing and not passing.
