House of PMO Essentials
Our House of PMO Essentials Certifications is a suite of courses that focus on practical skills required to perform each role within a PMO
THE BIG PICTURE
About this course
Organizations today must be flexible and ready to respond to constant change. To do this, they rely heavily on projects and programmes. But without the right support, even the best project teams can struggle. Additionally, many organizations face a second problem: their Project Management Office (PMO) lacks the skilled professionals needed to guide and support delivery effectively. The House of PMO Essentials provides a specialized training solution. Contact MindClick for the delivery format, teaching language, instructor profile, duration, dates, and a written fee proposal. APMG International owns the certification schemes referenced here and accredits its own Training Organizations. This listing describes training and study support, not an official APMG course or a claim of APMG Accredited Training Organization status. Exams are booked through APMG or an accredited training organization.
