Certification pathway

The program prepares fellows for these industry certifications. Exams are taken with the certifying body, and exam fees are paid separately.

PMP requires documented experience leading projects as well as 35 hours of project management education. Fellows new to project management usually start with CAPM. The PMP exam content was updated in July 2026 and now places more weight on AI in project work, which this program covers.

Prerequisites and requirements

  • Prior experience

    None. Experience organising work or people helps, but is not required.

  • Language

    Good written and spoken English.

  • Equipment

    A laptop or desktop computer and a reliable internet connection. A phone or tablet alone is not enough for the tools used.
