Certificate Summary

Project management isn't just for certain professionals like construction engineers anymore. Nowadays, it's common for anyone in a job to take on extra tasks and be expected to do them well, on time, and within budget. This e-course and certification, called Professional in Associate Management (PAM)™, won't turn you into a project manager from scratch, but it will teach you the basics and current ideas about managing projects. The PAM™ certification is recognized globally and shows that you're committed to being excellent at project management. The PAM™ certificate is like a beginner's badge in project management. It proves that you have a basic understanding of project management concepts, even if you're new to the field. People who don't know much about project management can take the PAM™ exam to get certified. The PAM™ certificate matches up with the e-Competence Framework (e-CF), which is a way of describing skills and competencies related to IT jobs. You can learn more about the e-Competence Framework by visiting their website.
