What Does it Take to “Manage for Results” in Government?

Many government managers are now required to receive formal performance management certification. To address this need, the Institute offers a Certificate in Government Performance Management and offers a complete package of courses to help you pass the PMP® certification exam and maintain your certification thereafter. Completing a Certificate program is easy. Just attend the three “core” project management courses to receive an certificate. To receive a full “Project Manager” certificate, you would attend an additional three “elective” courses based on topics that meet your unique needs. Th e skills you acquire will then be used in either a “Demonstration Project” or in passing the PMP® certification exam.
