Instruction

While you can work at your own pace, you are not alone. An experienced, PMI-certified project manager will serve as your private, personal instructor.

During an introductory phone call with your instructor, you will set your own schedule based on your experience, learning style, and needs.

You will learn by managing a clinic expansion project from start to finish, receiving feedback from your instructor on each assignment.

In live presentations made privately to your instructor via webcam, you will practice presenting ideas and proposals to executives and answering their questions.

Interact with your instructor as often as you like, by email, phone, or live web meeting via webcam, even for up to one year after your course ends.
