How To Successfully Create An Internal Project Management Certification Program For Your State - Part I - Introduction (#1 in the series How To Successfully Create An Internal Project Management Certification Program For Your State)
By Keith Mathis - PM Expert Live
Creating a certification program for your organization can increase the foundational knowledge of project management while emphasizing proven success models. Organizations which have created a certification program have reinforced project management teaching while driving project skills forward in a more efficient manner.
Creating a certification program for project management should not be misunderstood as being a degree program or something that leads into studies which will furnished a diploma. An internal project management certification program is a way of creating solid project management theories and models which will be abided by the organization and training all project managers followed with a test or some manner of verifying they have the skills. An internal certification program is not normally licensed or accredited by regional accrediting agencies, such as a university or community college. However, in this report we are suggesting that all courses used in this study be aligned with Project Management Institute (PMI®) and be registered courses which will provide Professional Development Units (PDUs) for each participant.
The following information has been designed to give you ideas and suggestions on establishing a certification program which will provide a solid framework for developing future project managers regardless of their years of experience.
What is an internal project management certification?
An internal project management certification program is designed with the goal of establishing project management standards for your organization. These standards are placed in an established curriculum to allow your organization the capability of having a course or a series of courses leading toward certification.
Internal certification programs can be created by instituting a standard course of study, along with a certification test covering the understanding of those core ideas. This certification program can be monitored and controlled within the organization with minor input from other agencies. It is suggested, however, that the certification program utilizes curriculum that has been registered and aligns with Project Management Institute. This increases the credibility of the curriculum and the certification, as well as creates standards based on a national standard of PMI® and qualifies for PDUs. PDUs are based on teaching curriculum which contains proven theories and models which align with Project Management Institute.
