If you dream of managing high technology projects in the software or telecom domains popular today, be prepared for difficult training while working to reach your dream.

The certification awarded by the Project Management Institute as a project management profession stands head and shoulders above the rest.

If you have completed college, you must have at least three years of post-graduate experience in a related field. During these three years you are required to have spent at least 4,500 hours actually coordinating and leading projects. If you didn’t go to college, or didn’t complete your course of study, you can still apply for certification provided you have seven years of related work experience. During those seven years you must have spent at least 7,500 hours coordinating and leading projects.

To become a certified Project Management Professional you must undergo a lengthy process of education, workshops and evaluations. During this process, you must demonstrate a thorough knowledge the areas of project management technology, project risk management, project activity scheduling and project quality management. It is recommended that you apply methodologies such as SCRUM, JIT and Agile Project Management to the practice of managing projects.

And when you pass the test, you’ll be rewarded with the title “Project Management Professional”.
