CompTIA Project+ Certification Training Course

 

Overview

If you are taking this course, you probably have some professional exposure to the duties of a project manager, or you may be embarking on a career in professional project management. As a project manager, the ability to demonstrate best practices in project management—both on the job and through professional certification—is becoming the standard to compete in today's fast-paced and highly technical workplace. In this course, you will apply the generally recognized practices of project management to successfully manage projects.

Project managers are always under severe pressure to complete projects on time and within budget. However, most projects fail to meet these demands and as a result, many projects are terminated early. Successful project management requires knowledge and experience. This course is designed to provide you with the skills needed to be a successful project manager in today's rapidly changing world. Additionally, this course can be a significant part of your preparation for the CompTIA® Project+™ certification exam. The skills and knowledge you gain in this course will help you avoid making costly mistakes and increase your competitive edge in the project management profession.

Project+ Course Objectives

• Identify the fundamentals of project management.

• Create project plans, stakeholder strategies, and scope statement.
• Develop a work breakdown structure and activity lists.
• Develop project schedule and identify the critical path.

Exam Prep Software INCLUDED!

All of our CompTIA classes include access to web-based practice exams. CompTIA certification exams are very rigorous and challenging. By studying after the class and using these practice exams, you will greatly improve your chances of passing the actual certification exam the first time. Exam prep software is included with all CompTIA classes delivered by ONLC Training Centers.

ONLC’s Exam Pass Guarantee INCLUDED!

Our CompTIA certification classes include our Exam Pass Guarantee. Work through the Exam Prep Software included with your course. When you achieve a practice test score of 85% or better in Certification mode, send proof of that score to [email protected]. We will then release the exam voucher for the authorized certification exam to you. If you fail the authorized certification exam on the first attempt, we will provide a second exam voucher to you at no charge. HOWEVER, if you don't use the practice test or you take the authorized exam without first achieving 85% or better on the practice test, then the Exam Pass Guarantee is null and void. See all details at: Exam Pass Guarantee

Additional Notes Regarding CompTIA Certification Exams

As with most professional IT certifications, additional hours of study are required before the class (meeting the prerequisites) and after the class (reviewing exam objectives and practice questions). Expect to spend a significant number of hours studying outside of the class before you take a CompTIA or any other IT professional exam.
