FU_Managing projects successfully (incl. PMI CAPM certification)

Beschreibung

In this course students learn how to manage projects successfully. This course is not only focused on the technical know-how of project management but teaches in particular situational people and leadership skills that support a project manager in today's complex project world.

The course provides a comprehensive introduction to the multifaceted methodology and systematics of project management. In addition, the course enables students to take the certification exam as a Certified Associate Project Manager (CAPM) from the Project Management Institute (PMI) - the world's leading project management organization with over 680,000 members in 217 countries. Attending such a preoperatory course, which costs up to CHF 2’700 on the free market, is by the way a prerequisite for being accepted for the PMI CAPM certification exam.

Students take the external PMI CAPM certification exam on their own either online or at one of the test centers between 23rd March and 23rd April 2023. The certification is a 3-hour MPC exam and incurs cost of $257.00 ($32 for the cost of student membership and $225 for the member price) or $300.00 (non-member). The result of PMI CAPM certification will be afterwards transformed into the grading system of the University of Liechtenstein. Test centers are provided in the DACH region by Person VUE.

Passing the external PMI CAPM certification is a prerequisite for completing this elective successfully. The costs for the certification must be covered by the students.
