  • Prepare to put yourself at the top of your industry and accelerate your project management career growth in this three-day program.

    The PMI-ACP® is the Project Management Institute’s fastest growing certification, and for a good reason. A recent survey by PMI reported that organizations that are highly agile and responsive to market dynamics complete more of their projects successfully than their slower-moving counterparts — 75 percent versus 56 percent.

It attests to the fact you can demonstrate command of the skills required to implement value-driven delivery while simultaneously facilitating continuous improvement through enhanced communication and collaboration.
