CompTIA Project+

CompTIA Project+ supports the value of maintain a project management philosophy within organizations. CompTIA Project+ covers the entire project life cycle, from initiation and planning through execution, acceptance, support and closure. It validates that project managers and team members have the classic project management skills to help them complete projects on time and within budget. Our course is designed to teach the skills and competencies necessary to be successful on the CompTIA Project + PKO-003 national certification exam.

CDW requires CompTIA Project+ in certain positions, and it is recommended for project managers at Alltel, Dell, Ricoh and the U.S. Dept. of State. Unlike some project management certifications, CompTIA Project+ can be earned quickly and cost-effectively.
