There are no classroom sessions! Assessments This innovative and collaborative education opportunity provides participants with a targeted and unique professional development experience that caters specifically to each individual’s needs and their unique learning styles. For example: Custom Course Design Instructor Interview 
Ala Carte selections Feedback and Closure The Program is based on a skills– based assessment/evaluation from the participant, the participant’s team members, project sponsors, and direct management. The assessment will help identify skill gaps that when filled will position the participant for success. 
Following the assessment, the participant receives specific learning activities they are motivated to use, excited about, and that will fill the skills gaps identified at the assessment stage. Competency Demonstration Assignments Learning Activities (56 hours) Each Participant will select a PMP certification prep track or they may select a project from within their organization to manage as part of the certificate program. The participant and their instructor will use the project to illustrate, apply and practice project management principles in real‐world situations. Using a real‐world project enhances each participant’s learning. This type of individual teaching style is part of what makes this program unique. A key to success is having the opportunity to collaborate with a professional program instructor who serves as a coach and interacts with the participant throughout the duration of the program. Your personal program instructor will design an ala carte custom program for you consisting of best‐of‐project management learning activities. Participants will select their preferred learning activities from the choic‐
es provided. The Project Management Certificate is awarded to participants after completing 56 hours of learning activities. Participants will work individually with the program instructor to select learning activities in‐line with their goals and learning style. This program is self‐guided so participants can complete the learning activities according to their schedules. You may set up a one‐on‐one, no‐obligation informational session with the program director prior to registration to help you determine if this program is a good match for your needs. This discussion will explain course customization, course design elements, and the peer evaluation process. Please call Dorothy Snyder, UW‐Stevens Point Continuing Edu‐

Let me work virtually, but with personal help and individual attention. Testimonial 1—Ann McDonald, Finance Director, Riverfront Inc.: The program was 100% customized and helped me improve the project management skills important to me and the work I’m doing every day. The one‐on‐one coaching sessions with [my instructor] were excellent. {My Instructor} showed me how to specifically apply what I learned to situations at Riverfront which made this program very valuable. Testimonial 2—Finniam Cullen, Clinical Systems Analyst, Franciscan Skemp Healthcare: I enjoyed the Project Management Certificate Program because I was able to set my own pace. [My instructor] also worked with me to customize the course based on my specific needs and professional goals. The self– and peer‐assessment that kicks off the program was very en‐
lightening. I learned so much. Every business should send their employees through this cer‐
tificate program because it provides a flexible project management toolkit that can be ap‐
plied to reduce costs and improve success. 4. Give me a custom course design—project management is a broad field and some parts of it are just not as important to me as others. 5. Have the learning activities fit my personal learning style preferences. 6. Administer it through a college with a good reputation so that it will look good on my resume. Testimonial 3—Sean Smith, PE, Project Leader, Trane: This Project Management Certificate Program was perfect for me because it was flexible and self‐directed so it fit well into my tight schedule. The discussions with [my instructor] made the coursework tangible and directly applicable to a multi‐year project I am managing at Trane. I would absolutely recommend the Project Management Certificate Program to others without hesitation. No state tax revenue supported the printing of this document.
