According to a 2007 PricewaterhouseCoopers survey, eighty percent of high-performing projects use a credentialed project manager.  Project managers have to be great multi-taskers and wear many hats and these skills can be acquired with intensive training. 
Schoolcraft College’s Continuing Education and Professional Development department is continuing to offer its successful ten-week, intensive training program that will prepare students to take the Project Management Institute® PMP® or CAPM® certification exam.
On Tuesday, May 1, 2012, Schoolcraft will host a free information session which is open to the public and is intended for individuals who may be interested in project management or are already working as a member of a project management team and would like to advance to a project team leader.  Session attendees will be able to meet the instructor to review class offerings, course curriculum and certification requirements.
