Learning content is broken down into four different modules:

All modules have a course outline that is broken down by week to make lesson planning simple. Each week learners participate in a variety of learning activities to introduce concepts and reinforce their learning. Some examples include:

• Presentations

The instruction design of this course has been created for flexible integration into the classroom. With the versatility of e-Learning content, instructors have the freedom to support learners in classroom, virtual, and hybrid settings. Although some of the assignments can be completed independently, the additional support of an instructor is helpful and encouraged.

This courseware will prepare students to take the PMI Project Management Ready certification and allow them to prove their knowledge of project management. Certifying allows students to gain a credential and prepare for their future college education, career, and beyond.

The PMI Project Management Ready™ certification is a new way for students to immerse themselves in the project management industry and get involved with this passionate community of professionals. This is an entry level certification that does not require any prior work experience in project management and/or may not have the minimal educational hours needed to take the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)^® exam.
