The Best Project Management Courses To Do in 2022

Adding project management skills to your CV can help make your application stand out. Here are a few of the best project management courses to do in 2022.

Do you feel complacent in your current role? Sometimes it's hard to imagine how you could move up in a corporate role without an advanced degree. 

You might already be doing work that's above your pay grade, but don't have the title or promotion to match. One way to demonstrate that you deserve not just a promotion but a massive raise is through obtaining a specialised certification to prove your worth in the role.

The median salary for project management roles is $161,408. How much project managers can make depends on the size of the company and what industry they work in.

How Do You Advance Your Career

Becoming competitive as a project manager requires combining years of practical experience with valuable, comprehensive education. Most project managers got into their roles by working their way up the corporate ladder.

They became a part of different projects and demonstrated that they were good team players. Eventually, they had the opportunity to take on a leadership role on a project team. Going the experiential route to break into project management takes several factors. 

It requires years of networking, developing relationships, and taking the initiative to take on more challenging roles. Your skills have been tested and you can show evidence of your accomplishments. 

However, you might take some of those steps more quickly if you find the right certification program. 

Is the Certification Program Accredited

When you spend a significant amount of your time and money on something, you want to make sure it's legitimate. Especially because the purpose of a project management course is to offer you valuable returns in the form of more leadership opportunities, future promotions, and a higher salary.

The top project management courses receive accreditation from globally-recognized organisations. The most well-known organisation is the Project Management Institute (PMI). They have robust standards for curricula and project hours. Both programs culminate in certification exams.

The Project Management Institute offers several certifications including:

  • Project Management Professional (PMP)
  • Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)
  • PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)
  • PMI-Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)
  • PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP)

The above examples show just some of the certifications PMI gives out. The PMP is the most common title to pursue. But PMI offers several options for more specialized project management skills to help you become well-rounded. 

The exams draw from standard practices and knowledge within the field. They can be hard, so you want to take a course that will best prepare you to pass successfully.

Agile PM Foundation and Practitioner Courses

When getting your certification in project management, you have the option of choosing specialised learning paths. Agile Project Managers take a different approach to traditional project management methods.

Agile project management incorporates principles of agile management. For agile management, you take a larger project and break it down into smaller portions. Each portion of the project gets completed in cycles over time.

This lets teams make improvements on projects as they move through the different cycles. Each portion has a beginning-middle-end which lets PMs reevaluate their processes each time.

Breaking down projects in this way lets projects be completed faster and with improved results. Companies also save money when they can fix gaps and errors during the lifespan of the project, instead of having to start a whole new project after the fact.

Each course takes two days to complete and is taken separately. They let students gain skills in the foundations of project management and how it works with agile management practices.

The Practitioner course builds on skills gained in the Foundations course. Students also learn how to apply agile principles to their work as project managers.

Both courses are taught by certified Agile PM trainers. Students receive an accredited certificate at the end of each course. These courses prepare them for both the Agile PM Foundation Exam and the Practitioner Exam.

PMI Authorised PMP Exam Preparation

For those who feel ready to take one of the PMP Exams to receive official recognition from PMI, this four-day course will prove to be immensely helpful. While it has a steep upfront investment of $1,598.50 for the whole course, you will be paid back in dividends once you've successfully passed your exam.

This course prepares you for the skills you need to pass the PMP exam while also letting students apply the following skills:

  • soft skills for leading teams
