This online certificate program equips participants with the skills necessary to administer complex projects, by presenting examples of best practices in teamwork, risk- and change-management, effective communication, and the handling of stakeholders and schedules. An introduction to the core features of Microsoft® Project 2016 is also included.

Intended Audience

EOD certificate programs are offered only to UT employees.

This certificate program is designed to benefit various levels of employees and supervisors whose jobs regularly involve PM. The online learning approach is suitable for those who have unpredictable work schedules or other time commitments that prevent them from attending in-person training.

Curriculum

Participants will be assigned 15 online courses, plus 1 quiz  (23.5 total credit hours). The courses are grouped into three parts and should be completed in order. Upon completion of all of the courses, participants will be assigned a one-credit-hour multiple-choice quiz, consisting of questions taken directly from the LinkedIn Learning in-course quizzes. You must answer 70% correctly to pass. You may retake the quiz if you do not pass the first time.
