Presentation
PMI-CP, short for PMI Construction Professional, is a prestigious certification attesting to a project manager's skills and experience in construction. Awarded by the Project Management Institute (PMI), it was developed from PMI's construction framework, a collection of project management best practices. Highly valued by building and civil engineering companies, PMI-CP demonstrates professionalism and mastery of the tools and techniques needed to deliver complex construction projects successfully.
This intensive 4-day course, closely aligned with PMI construction standards, prepares you thoroughly for the PMI-CP certification exam. It covers all key aspects of construction project management through a logical, structured progression.
The PMI-CP course is organised as follows: Day 1 covers the construction project environment, the construction project manager's role and PMI's construction framework. Day 2 focuses on initiation and planning, including scope, WBS, costs and schedule, with construction-specific practical exercises. Day 3 addresses project execution and control, including team and change management. Day 4 covers monitoring and control, including monitoring techniques, interpersonal skills, leadership and communication. Finally, the last day addresses construction project closure and PMI-CP exam preparation through revision, exercises and a mock exam, with advice for passing the official exam.
As a PMI® Premium Authorised Training Partner (ATP), number 4351, Oo2 offers certification courses that meet the institute's rigorous quality standards.
