Frequently Asked Questions

The best course for project management is one that aligns with your goals. Are you looking for a one-off learning experience, or a course that can stack into a full degree? Either way, you'll want to find a course that helps you learn to:

  • Manage projects according to project management best practices.
  • Use appropriate analysis and communication methods.
  • Navigate the project life-cycle through organization, planning, monitoring and controlling.

Whether your ultimate goal is a career in project management, or you're just dipping a toe in the water to see if it's the right path for you, a project management course can be a great place to start.

Learn more about what project managers do.

Qualifications for becoming a project manager can vary widely depending on the industry you work in, such as technology, construction or healthcare. Some project management roles may require specific industry certifications, while others may require years of experience, or a project management degree.

Before you decide to enroll in a project management course, you'll want to ensure the path you're considering can can help you achieve the goal you have in mind. If you're already working in an industry you love and are looking to add to your skill set, a project management course could be right for you.

Project management is a field where experience can make a big difference, but education can, too. In certain industries, you may first be required to have experience in the field itself — such as healthcare, marketing or construction — before you can move into a project management role.

Education can also support a fruitful career path for those without experience. There are many ways, whether through coursework, a degree or industry certification, you can upskill to become a project manager without necessarily having project management experience beforehand.

While a project management course can't give you industry experience, it can help you gain the skills and competencies you need to move into a project management role.
