PMI certification prepares you to excel in any industry worldwide
PMI certification shows that you have the essential knowledge, experience, and education to effectively contribute to project, strategic, and organizational success. A PMI certification is a valuable investment in your career, and yourself.
With eight certifications currently available, PMI offers a comprehensive certification program for project professionals at all stages of their careers. Globally respected and recognized, PMI certifications remain the global standard. Earning more than one can help set yourself apart and open new doors for advancement in your career.
Continuing Education Through Chapter Events
Your PMI certification will include a way to keep your certification current and your knowledge relevant as the profession evolves through the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program. The program focuses your professional development on the employer-demanded skills of the PMI Talent Triangle — Business Acumen, Ways of Working and Powers Skills.
To assist you in maintaining your certification, the Willamette Valley Chapter provides local continuing education events, such as monthly Branch meetings and meetups, workshops, and our annual Project Management Conference.
