Project Management Professional Certification Courses Now Available
(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA • July 28, 2016)—If you have significant experience working on projects, then Project Management Professional (PMP) certification through Delaware County Community College and the Project Management Institute-Delaware Valley Chapter (PMI-DVC) might be the next step in your career. The College and PMI-DVC have partnered together to offer courses that can prepare you for PMP certification. These courses will cultivate your project management knowledge, skills and abilities, enabling you to demonstrate project management expertise and professional experience.
Earning PMP certification signifies to an employer that you understand the global language of project management. Plus, according to Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey, Ninth Edition, certification holders earn 20 percent more than their non-certified peers. The College is offering two PMP courses this fall:
Foundations in Project Management

PMP Exam Prep
This preparation course is intended for those who have gained experience in project work or may have already taken project management courses, and focuses on how to prepare, study for and take the PMP credential exam.
