Project Management Training

Project Management Training – PMI PMP Certification Classes

Managers often find it challenging to complete projects on schedule, and within budget. The delays occur most of the time because they are pulled in many different directions throughout the course of their workday.

We at Michigan Technology Services believe that comprehensive project management skills for business and IT staffers will become as important as computer skills. Why? Because as technical projects become increasingly complex, department leaders across North America will be asked to do more work with all too often fewer resources.

Project management training courses and related PMP certifications for staffers involved in projects have been developed. Several of Michigan Technology Services' instructors have experience as project managers for large scale IT initiatives. They will be able to effectively teach you how to manage your projects by highlighting some of their real life experiences at major Detroit area corporations.
