Project Management Program

The Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI) has grown rapidly to become a major project management qualification in North America and Internationally. Rapid growth has seen the number of PMPs jump from the start of the qualification in the 1980s to approximately 10,000 in January 2000 and to a current total of 265,000 PMPs in 170 countries in 2008.

Extensive research has shown that only 30-40% of all projects are deemed "successful." Not only does this represent a 60-70% failure rate, but it also indicates that a massive amount of time and money is wasted on "lost" causes.

GTCC has expanded our PM offerings to include courses for the true "beginner," a certification course for those who would like to obtain the PMP designation and topic specific courses designed for PMP's to garner PDU's required to maintain their PMP status.

Whether you are new to project management, want to learn project management tools which will help you be more proficient in your job, need to build your skills and knowledge as a project manager, or are a seasoned PM who would like to become a PMP, GTCC has an offering to meet your goals.
