Project management is a strategic competency that has successfully been applied in such high profile projects as rebuilding the Pentagon after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the transformation of IBM by Lou Gerstner from an IT hardware giant to an IT software and computer services leader, organizing and managing the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, and the upcoming Summer Games in Beijing, just to name a few. If project management can play a major role in these success stories, just imagine what it might be able to do for your own organization! Would you like to be the one sitting at the head of this conference room?

If so.....then the Academy of South Florida has the Project Management Prep Boot Camp (PMP®) that is right for you!

The Academy's Project Management Prep Boot Camp is designed to prepare students to successfully pass the Project Management Professional exam. The PMP designation offers individuals worldwide recognition as project management professional, supported by core knowledge and understanding of critical Project Management concepts, principles and techniques.
