The Performance Institute - Information Technology

Certification Program

Get Certified in the Latest Government IT Standards!

Many government managers are now required to receive formal information technology certification. To address this need the Performance Institute offers a Certificate in Information Technology Management and offers a complete package of courses to help you stay up-to-date on the latest standards in your field. Completing a certificate program is easy. Just attend the three “core” IT courses and an additional three “elective” courses based on the topics that meet your agency’s unique needs.
