Bond University’s Professional Certificate In

Project Management Course Completion Certificates You will receive a Bond University Endorsed Certificate of Completion for each course you attend upon successful completion of the course’s multi-choice exam and full attendance of the course.

About The Professional Certificate In Project Management Professionals who earn the Professional Certificate In Project Management from Bond University have attained the knowledge necessary to effectively oversee the initiation, planning, implementation and closeout of projects with the confidence that they understand the ten Body of Knowledge areas prescribed by the Project Management Institute.

Delegates must meet two criteria to be eligible for a Bond University endorsed Certificate of Completion for a course: 1. Satisfactory attendance – delegates must attend all sessions of the course. Delegates who miss more than 2 hours of the course sessions will not be eligible to sit the course exam 2. Successful completion of the course assessment

This Certificate, issued by Bond University’s School of Sustainable Development and Architecture, is prized across industry for its balanced focus on both theory and practical aspects of benchmark project management practice. Bond is a leading Australian university, and this professional certificate, which earns two subjects credit at Master’s level, truly distinguishes holders from other PM practitioners.

Delegates who do not meet these criteria will receive an IIRME Certificate of Attendance. If delegates have not attended all sessions, the Certificate will clearly state the number of hours attended.

Overview - Professional Certificate In Project Management This Certificate has been especially designed to not only train you in project management but also to ensure your knowledge and understanding of project management is thoroughly reinforced for effective recall and application after the training. This means you get superior value in terms of effective application of key PM principles in your work place after course completion. Bond achieves this by providing you with 20 hours of video material, presented by Prof.

Alan Patching, for pre or post course review. We know of no other course that provides such a service.

Upon successful completion of all three courses, you will be awarded with the Bond University’s Professional Certificate In Project Management.

The Certificate has been designed and prepared in alignment with principles of project management as defined in the PMBOK® guide of the internationally respected Project Management Institute, and is accredited by PMI.

Credits • Earn 24 Professional Development Units (PDUs) from the Project Management Institute when you attend each course • 2 subjects’ credit at Masters level with Bond University’s Institute of Sustainable Development and Architecture will be awarded upon completion of all three courses
