How To Successfully Create An Internal Project Management Certification Program For Your State - Part IV - What Certification Body Should this Course Align with for Standardization? (#4 in the series How To Successfully Create An Internal Project Management Certification Program For Your State)
By Keith Mathis - PM Expert Live

Certification bodies all have their foundational principles and standards which have been publicized as a way of separating themselves and their focus. For this type of project it is best for the organization to make sure all course work has been certified with PMI®. The main reason for doing this is to make sure that the coursework is following project management theories and to reduce any future problems as this certification program grows. By aligning all course work with PMI®, the organization knows that the training is founded on solid information and will support future certifications such as the Certified Associate Project Manager (CAPM®) or the Project Management Professional (PMP®). The CAPM® and the PMP® are both global certifications which are offered through PMI®. These certifications are based on standards known as the Project Management body of Knowledge (PMBOK®).

If you make sure all of your courses are registered with PMI® you will reduce the chance that your workers will need to retake courses in the future. This will save you money in the long run.
