Why should I take the virtual Green Project Manager course?
The Certified Green Project Manager – Basic (GPM-b) is the foundational, knowledge-based certification that supports the commitment of those in project management to maximize sustainability within the project lifecycle, to improve the construct and delivery of goods and services produced as project deliverables, and to use measurable standards to consider and account for environmental impacts in projects.
The GPM-b certification is the first project management credential for individuals that allows them to demonstrate their knowledge in delivering projects using sustainable methods.
Virtual classroom training allows you to benefit from real-time instruction from the comfort of your home or office. You benefit from the same interactions as an on-site class and will be able to ask questions of the instructor. Since the exams are not done on paper during the course but online, you will also benefit from time to study and prepare until you are ready to obtain the certification.
