Why was this developed?
The IT Community has identified a requirement for greater project management
knowledge and skills for persons responsible for undertaking capital projects in
the federal public service. While many project management training courses and
programs are offered, finding information about them can be difficult and time
consuming. This search list is an efficient tool to assist public servants
interested in increasing their knowledge and skills in the project management
field.
How can this list help me?
This searchable Database provides information to help you select
programs or courses that meet your needs. The list includes information on
workshops and seminars, boot camps (intense quick studies), certificates,
diplomas and degree programs. Any institution offering programs or courses based
on the PMBOK® Guide may include their course offerings in this list.

This list contributes to a standarization of project management knowledge and
practice across the federal public services.
