Hull College of Business offers project management exam prep course

Registration is open for an in-person examination preparation course for the Project Management Professional® (PMP) certification.

The Hull College of Business at Augusta University is an approved Authorized Training Partner for the PMP. Courses will be from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday from Aug. 23 to Sept. 15 at the Georgia Cyber Center.

“Our prep course has been a great success. We have already held two open enrollment classes, last November and February, and a class specifically for U.S. Army Cyber Command in May,” said Dr. Rick Franza, dean of the Hull College of Business.

“We have received outstanding feedback from the attendees, and we’ve heard back from many who have completed the course, have gone on to take the PMP test and passed, and are now certified project management professionals.”

The in-person course meets the 35-hour required PMP training based on the new PMP exam content. The course also provides additional Agile training and assistance with the PMP application.

The course has limited availability and costs $1,495. Registration is open and online.

The instructor, Roger Duke, PMP, ACP, CSM and lecturer in the Hull College of Business, has more than 40 years of project management experience. He is an Agile coach, has more than 10 years of PMP training experience, and is an approved PMI training instructor. Duke received his PMI Project Management Professional credential in 2007, his Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from the University of South Carolina in 1979, and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1977 from Auburn University.

“Duke is an outstanding instructor, and we will soon be adding a second highly experienced project manager, Amy Tuschen, to our instruction staff. This course is an outstanding investment for anyone wanting to make a career in project management and for any company that wants to get its employees certified,” Franza said.

The PMP is the world’s leading project management certification.
