Do you dream of managing a team of employees? Do you enjoy increasing the efficiency of a project? Do you find yourself analyzing and developing processes to make your work and home life easier? Have you been running projects in your current job or in your volunteer work? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then a career in project management could be right for you.<\/p>\n

What Does a Project Manager Do?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A project manager is an expert multi-tasker and communicator. They oversee all facets of a large project, communicate with all stakeholders and ensure the project is completed successfully. Project managers also need a strong understanding of computer systems and software. These are often used to keep track of project timelines, budgets, and personnel.<\/p>\n

Project Management Careers and Salary Potential<\/strong><\/h5>\n

This is a growing field, and is projected to remain strong with many opportunities in the years ahead. By 2020, there\u2019s anticipated to be 6.2 million jobs for certified project managers. This represents a 12 percent increase from today\u2019s market, according to\u00a0the Project Management Institute<\/a><\/u>\u00a0(PMI). Additionally, project managers with a PMP certification earn approximately 22 percent more annually than project managers without one. This percentage increases with experience.<\/p>\n

How to get Certification and Training<\/strong><\/h5>\n

At\u00a0SPC\u2019s Workforce Institute<\/a><\/u>, we offer project management certification exam prep classes. This includes training for non-degree seeking students in the Tampa Bay area. Students can focus on the Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification or the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) Certification. These classes are designed to prepare professionals to sit for and pass the PMI Certification exam(s).<\/p>\n

In order to sit for one of PMI\u2019s certification exams, you must meet certain minimum criteria. A key criteria requirement is to meet a specific amount of hours of project management education. One of the best ways to receive this education is by attending a certification exam prep class in your area. These hours count!<\/p>\n
