Project Management Fundamentals Course

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in our project management fundamentals course. While it does not result in any specific certification, it is a good start on that path. This course is held via Zoom and Black Diamond Charities provides all materials needed for class. There are no prerequisites or pre-study requirements.

Who Qualifies?

US Military -- Honorably discharged Veterans, active duty/reserve/NG unit members, and spouses. Even if you served years ago, you are eligible.

Setting Expectations

The BDC course is focused on project management fundamentals.

  • It is not designed to prepare specifically to pass the PMP or any other certification exam.

  • A plan for follow-up studying to prepare for the CAPM & PMP will be discussed.

  • The course runs three consecutive Saturdays either in March or October.

  • Classes are 9 am to 5 pm Central Time each Saturday and meet virtually using Zoom.

  • The course will also require approximately 1 to 3 hours of work between weekly classes.

  • Your schedule must support this time commitment.
