The Premium Training offers access to a fully interactive Project Management Fundamentals course that adapts to your needs as you hone your project management skills. This includes: 

Adaptive learning is a method of on-demand instruction that orchestrates artificial intelligence and sophisticated algorithms to present the next appropriate action based on what it knows about each unique learner. It evolves moment by moment using trial and error as the environment changes. This allows the learner to make mistakes and pursue misconceptions, closely mimicking real-world cognitive situations in a consequence-free environment and providing a practical and engaging experience. In addition, such personalisation increases efficiency and engagement by considering what each learner has already mastered — reducing time to learning by 50% on average. 

That is entirely up to you! Adaptive learning is proven to reduce learning time by 50% since it considers what you already know - only presenting content when you need it.

In general, it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to complete each module, potentially anywhere from 140 minutes (about 2 and a half hours) to 14 hours, depending on your comfort level with the material.

Project managers facilitate the execution of a project, from planning and development to managing teams and stakeholders and managing time, scope, and budget. In addition, the project manager is responsible for the project's success (or failure), and success in project management depends on having a solid foundation in project management principles and practices.

An excellent foundational certification for those just starting in the project management field is PMI's Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification. See Course 3601, Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® Certification Training, if you are interested in CAPM certification.

This course introduces best-practice techniques and a project management skill set that can immediately improve your project management performance back on the job. The project management skills needed to implement project management processes, develop leadership skills, and respond effectively to real-world project management scenarios are covered in this course.

The salary of a project manager can vary based on many factors, including location and experience level. Earning a project management certification can increase salary ranges. The current average salary for a project manager in the United States is over $80,000 annually.

Certification candidates and existing credential holders are responsible for reporting all Continuing Certification Requirements Programme (CCR) activities to PMI (Project Management Institute). To report the completion of a Learning Tree course, you can use the Online PDU (Professional Development Units) Resources System.
