PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE - TheCourse™

BOOT CAMP: PROJECT MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION TEST PREP

(5.6 CEUs / 56 HOURS)

(2.7 CEUs / 27 HOURS)

Project management is a highly competitive profession that requires proven best practices, a high level of expertise, and recognized credentials, especially if you want to stand out in the job market and move ahead. TheCourse™ for Project Management is a 56-hour training program designed to teach the core competencies of project management while preparing students for the PMI® certification exam. It is the number one choice for more government agencies, colleges, and universities in the U.S. than any other project management certification prep course. PMI® has given the classroom version a rating of 100%. TheCourse™ teaches the five process groups and ten knowledge areas of PMBOK® 5th edition, the PMI code of ethics and professional conduct, and reviews general management topics. It also provides access to TheTest, a test engine containing 671 exam-like questions that you can download and install in your own computer. Upon certification, you can register in the PMP Forever Program – a lifetime program that enables members to keep up with the ever-evolving body of knowledge and earn Professional Development Units (PDUs) to maintain your certification without spending more money.

In this course, students will use a practicum model that will help them continue practicing the processes outlined in the fifth edition of the PMBOK Guide “Project Management Body of Knowledge.” The model explains the Knowledge Areas and Process Groups, demonstrating the flow of the 47 processes of project management that are instrumental to project success. It also analyzes the inputs and outputs of the process and studies their appropriate tools and techniques. The PMI’s code of ethics will also be reviewed.

Apart from the practice examples completed in class, students will have access to 24/7 PMI PMP practice material from any computer, allowing them to “self-study” outside of class. The Boot Camp course includes interactive lessons, PMBOK GUIDE exercises, and much more. This course is designed for professionals or project managers who are preparing for the Project Management Institute’s Project Manager Professional or Certified Associate in Project Management exams. This course can also benefit professionals who want to further develop their PM skills. At the completion of this course, students will receive a UTEP PMP Boot Camp Certificate.

DALE CARNEGIE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

SKILLED PROFESSIONAL SEMINAR SERIES PERSONALITY INSIGHTS TO SUCCESS

REFRAMING CHANGE: PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT (0.3 CEUs / 3 HOURS)

(0.6 CEUs / 6 HOURS) An understanding of personality types and associated characteristics is the foundation for successful communication, problem-solving, conflict resolution, excellent customer service, powerful teams, effective leadership, and sales success. The best way to predict behavior and build rapport is to understand personality profiles and the needs and values of each personality type.

Change is one of the few constants in our lives and we have very good reasons for resisting change. Potential change is often perceived as scary, time-consuming, threatening, frustrating, irritating, immobilizing, and an unnecessary evil.

However, with an understanding of the dynamics of change and the importance of effective perception management, change CAN be an exciting, invigorating, and positive experience.

Discover the answers to these questions!

DALE CARNEGIE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

• What is your personality type and what are the core values of each type?

• What motivates you? Do others sometimes misunderstand your motives? Why?

FOR WORKING PROFESSIONALS

• How do others perceive you, your comments, and behaviors?

(8 CEUs / 8 HOURS)

• Are their perceptions of you different from the image you have of yourself?

The business world has changed! Management was about pushing people to succeed. Leadership is about pulling people along to succeed. You require a new skill set to make it to the top in a “pull” environment. This course teaches how to stop managing and start leading, making you a vital part of your organization’s future. Clear distinctions are being made between the two. Learn the differences between managing and leading and then begin gravitating toward a more direct leadership style and away from a management-based style. Stop pushing and start pulling.

Register yourself for success! *This course is being taught in partnership with Dale Carnegie Training.

ESSENTIALS OF HUMAN RESOURCES

This class gives experienced, exempt-level human resource (HR) practitioners an effective review of the HR body of knowledge on which the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) examinations are based. This intensive review course will help participants prepare for the content areas covered on the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI) exam.

Students should anticipate eight to 10 hours of study per week, in addition to classroom time, in order to successfully complete the program and be ready to sit for the HRCI exam.

Learning Objectives: The certification program consists of six instructional modules encompassing the following areas of human resources: Strategic Management, Workplace Planning and Employment, Compensation and Benefits, Human Resources Development, Employee and Labor Relations, Occupational Health, Safety and Security

(1.2 CEUs / 12 HOURS) The SHRM Essentials of Human Resources Management Certificate Program offers a broad overview of the human resources functions, covering six key topic areas: Human Resource Management, Employment Law, Recruitment and Selection, Compensation and Benefits, Employee Development, and Performance Management. It is ideal for those who are just starting out in the HR profession, perform HR duties, or are looking for an effective way to boost their employee-management skills. Content reflects changes in legislation and provides an overview of HR roles and responsibilities, giving participants critical knowledge to help reduce costs, avoid potential lawsuits, and improve their ability to handle challenging HR issues.

Completion of at least 75% of the course hours and a grade of 80% or better in the course exam, covering all six key modules, are required to receive a certificate of completion, awarded by UTEP’s Professional and Public Programs. All materials are included in the course fee.

To earn either the PHR or SPHR designation, candidates must have at least two years of exempt-level (professional) experience in the HR field.
