Principles of Project Management Certificate Program
Course Code: PDP 5200

The primary objective of NEU’s online Principles of Project Management is to relate standardized project management principles to each student’s day-to-day, on-the-job activities, such that practices learned in class can be applied the same day in the “real world.” Though not exclusively a Project Management Professional (PMP) exam preparation class, students will also be able to answer practice PMP exam questions in an online environment similar to the actual online exam format.

Unique to Northeastern, each week throughout the certificate program students will receive:

usable tips, templates, and other tools
easily accessible reference sources (in print and online)
access to current industry articles and best practices
up-to-date information about careers within project management, and the project management profession
a discussion topic linking course material to actual practices at their own job site
a chance to practice developing (and get feedback on) key documents, using a real-world case study project
interactive discussion with other students and the course instructor

The 12-week program is aligned with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) -- 4th edition, the Project Management Institute’s published standard for project management, with each student earning 36 professional development units (PDUs) upon completion. The program provides:

an introduction to project management
effective project startup processes
plans to address project risk
tested practices for staffing and communicating clearly with your project team
methods for accurately scoping project requirements, schedule and budget
examples of performance metrics to maintain project quality
tools for maintaining control of the project throughout its lifecycle
practice questions for the PMP exam

In short, the student who successfully completes the Principles of Project Management Certificate Program will not only have solid understanding of project management concepts, but also a shelf of everyday references to use, beginning with the first day of class.
