In general, to become a project manager, you need lots of hands-on training. To be awarded Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), a project management candidate must acquire at least 1500 hours of work on a project team or 23 contact hours of formal project management education. A project management associate is not qualified to run an entire project by themselves, only assist a project management professional in project management.

The other project management training certification provided by PMI is Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, and is awarded upon satisfying education and experience requirements, passing an examination, and agreeing to adhere to a professional conduct code. To maintain this certification, PMP must also satisfy CEU requirements.

The Best Project Management Training

The best way to train for project management is to work closely with a project manager. Dozens of things can go right or wrong in a project, and only way to really learn how to handle them is to be thrown right into middle.

You should seek hands-on training in following areas:

Bar Charts and Information Challenge

Whether one is an unknown entrepreneur or Donald Trump, an elementary school teacher or a university president, a 6th grader researching other countries or a government leader visiting them, each person in any capacity has at least one thing in common: information. Let me explain why I use bar charts as an example. Whether information is being acquired or distributed for business or educational purposes, challenge that arises is how to compile all of information. Bar charts are just one example of a variety of instruments for displaying information which is precise, yet simple.

This time is referred to as “Information Age” because information about anything under sun (and beyond) is now available in every home and hamlet. However, though information is one thing each person has in common, our interaction with it sets us apart. In many cases, way information is accumulated may propel one business beyond rest. On other hand, way information is disseminated may also set one business ahead of rest. Can something as simple as bar charts make difference?

Tools for Information Improvement

Bar charts, pie chart, or other types of business chart and business graphs are easily created using graphing programs with almost any word processing software. To create graphs in word processor for a database chart or a database graph is relatively simple and user-friendly.

Creating graphs and charts can also be done for a company website using almost any graph program or business mapping software.
