Certificate Learning Outcome
- While the Project Management Certificate is not intended to be a preparatory certificate the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam, the content of the courses is consistent with the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge). The School of Continuing Studies offers a separate PMP Exam prep course for learners who are ready to seek the PMP certification.
- Collectively, the three courses cover much of the same material that is validated in the PMP exam. As such, successful graduates of the U of T Certificate program would be well prepared to write the PMP exam, assuming they meet the experience requirements to write the exam, and review summary material just before the actual exam date.
- Graduates of the U of T Certificate program will be prepared to assume additional responsibilities or promotional opportunities to career assignments that have a project management component or primary focus, either with an existing employer, or in the external career market.
