PMP/CAPM Credential Exam Preparation

“I successfully passed the CAPM examination on my first try. Your prep course was excellent and focused my studies on the exact topics that I needed to pass the exam. Bill Ball brings a wide breadth of knowledge and expertise to the course and I couldn’t have passed without his expert guidance.”

Focused, in-depth test preparation for national certification This course is designed to prepare project leaders, coordinators and team members to take the Project Management Professional (PMP®) or the Certified Associate Project Manager (CAPM®) examination administered by the Project Management Institute (PMI®). PMI certifications are recognized worldwide as benchmarks for demonstrating project management leadership skills and have become the industry standard for project managers seeking career advancement.

Experienced project managers will be able to use the skills learned in this course to prepare for passing the PMP examination to earn the internationally recognized PMP credential. Less experienced project managers will be able to use the skills learned in this course to prepare for passing the CAPM examination. (It is recommended that students with little or no project management experience complete the Project Management Essentials course offered through Extended Studies before enrolling in this program).

The PMP/CAPM Credential Exam Preparation course uses a highly focused approach to review the project management processes and knowledge areas that candidates must know in order to pass the exams. The instructor, a certified PMP, will review materials from the PMBOK® Guide, present effective test preparation techniques, discuss how best to prepare for passing the examination on the first attempt, offer tips for answering questions correctly and review many sample exam questions.

Certificates are earned only by those who demonstrate commitment to a long-term program of study and mastery of the most up-to-date information available in supervisory and human resources management and related fields.

Certificates are awarded after completion of five core courses in Supervisory Management or Human Resources Management, along with five elective courses. Core courses are offered twice each year. To earn both the Human Resources and Supervisory Management Certificate, complete all the required core courses for each certificate in addition to the necessary electives for 15 total courses.

More Elective Choices In addition to the five required core courses for each program, participants may choose from dozens of electives offered by Extended Studies each year, or may apply core courses from another Extended Studies custom certificate as electives to their chosen 10-course custom program. Supervisory and HR core courses and Project Management Essentials courses may be applied to one certificate program only. See pages 7-10 for course descriptions.

“This course is fantastic for anyone who is new to code and wants to learn it from top professionals who are great at sharing their skills and insight with others!” — Dana Miller, MSLIS, M.A., head of metadata and cataloging, University of Nevada, Reno Libraries

“If you want to learn the basics of computer programming, I highly recommend taking this class.”

Write code in your own development environment

— John J. Kadlic, J.D., Reno City Attorney

This fast-paced, hands-on course teaches students how to create a program. All of the concepts from Introduction to Computer Programming I: Basics and Introduction to Computer Programming II: Principles and Practices come together with new knowledge and skills to yield a program that can read in data, parse out values, sort/filter the list, and display the results. In addition to reinforcing the subjects and terms from the previous classes, new topics are introduced such as functions, alternative flow control statements, external code libraries and data exchange formats.

Participants will follow along by writing code in their own development environments.

Instructors use the requirements for a running program to demonstrate how computer programming can speed up work assignments, open up new avenues for exploration, automate repetitive tasks and provide a lifetime of study.

NEW! Introduction to Computer Programming II: Principles and Practices Hands-on practice in key programming concepts and processes Designed as a follow-up to Introduction to Computer Programming I: Basics for those who have minimal programming experience, this course examines the concepts that constitute a modern-day programming language. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on practice, course instructors will illustrate the basics of programming, such as operators, variables, flow control, boolean logic, branching logic, iteration/looping, and simple data types.

Course participants are expected to practice what they learn between sessions in order to discover the versatile applications of the art of computer programming. Guidance will be given on how to begin that practice, where one can go to learn more, and what kinds of projects are available for those new to the pursuit. Note: There will be a short homework assignment over the first weekend.

NEW AND ONLINE! Project Management Certificate Program Best practices and industry standards in a flexible online format

Online Modules and Program Information

This course provides a thorough introduction to project management best practices and industry-wide standards in an online format for those who prefer a flexible, interactive, online learning experience. The project management processes covered in this course are applicable to projects of any size in such diverse fields as finance, research and development, engineering, biotechnology, information technology and construction. Upon completion of this course students will have learned basic project management tools and concepts to plan and lead a project of medium complexity to a successful conclusion. In addition, students will have been introduced to the Project Management Institute’s Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) — essential information for those interested in pursuing a Project Management Professional (PMP) credential.

The Project Management Certificate Program Online is offered completely online in seven weekly modules starting each Tuesday.

Online Modules • Module 1 (March 8-14): Basic Project Management Concepts • Module 2 (March 15-21): Initiating the Project • Module 3 (March 22-28): Planning the Project Scope • Module 4 (March 29-April 4): Planning the Project Schedule and Budget • Module 5 (April 5-11): Planning for Project Risks and Setting Project Baselines • Module 6 (April 12-18): Executing the Project Plan • Module 7 (April 19-25): Monitoring Progress and Closing the Project Each module includes online lecture notes, discussion topics, supplemental reading from the required textbook, a short quiz and a project assignment. While completed work from previous weekly modules can be accessed and viewed any time, assignments must be submitted for each weekly course module before participants move on to the next module.

Participation in the course requires high-speed Internet access and an email address.

Program participants will have an opportunity to practice creating the key project management deliverables that initiate, plan, execute and close a project. At the beginning of the course, students will select a case study project to work on for the duration of the class. As the course proceeds each student will create and submit the project management deliverables for their case study project and will have the opportunity to review and comment on the project management deliverables created by other students.

Extended Studies graphics courses are offered fully online in four weekly modules to be completed during the week they are offered. Each course lasts four weeks and students will spend approximately five-six hours per week engaged in the course. Videos and assignments that synthesize course content will be the primary learning tools. The structure of the program enables students to receive personal feedback on their work from instructor and industry expert M.D. Welch, and allows students to interact with the instructor and other students via online discussions.

Participation in the course requires high-speed Internet access, the application installed on your computer and an email address. Courses are taught using the latest version of Adobe’s software, currently version CC, but older version “work-arounds” are also demonstrated for those not using the latest versions.

Each weekly course module begins on Tuesday. Previous work can be accessed and viewed anytime, but assignments must be submitted for the week prior to the beginning of the next weekly course module. While course material will be available for continued reference up to four weeks after the class ends, assignments must be turned in by the scheduled course end date in order to earn a certificate of completion.

Certificate Requirements Certificates of completion will be awarded at the conclusion of each course to students who participate in all course modules and complete all required work by the course end date, and upon completion of the courses required to earn the multiple-course Video or Design certificate, as noted in certificate descriptions. Advanced courses require a working knowledge of software applications prior to enrollment.
