Project management training paths
Ten paths: the certifications that get you shortlisted, and the tools every job description assumes you already know. Each one sequences MPUG's classes into a clear order, and every class earns PDUs.
Get certified
Certification paths
PMI-aligned tracks that run from prerequisites through contact hours to exam day.
PMP
35 contact hoursThe credential hiring managers filter on. Expert-led prep covering predictive, agile and hybrid delivery the way the exam actually asks about it — plus the 35 contact hours PMI requires before you can sit it.
CAPM
23 contact hoursYour first project management credential. Learn the vocabulary, process groups and methods every PM role assumes you already have — and the 23 contact hours PMI requires before the exam.
PgMP
Panel review + examProgram management is not project management at a larger size. Training for governance, benefits realization and interdependent delivery — and for the panel review that reads your experience before you ever sit the exam.
PMI-ACP
21 contact hoursProve you can actually run agile rather than define it. Scrum, Kanban, Lean and XP as they behave on real teams — plus the 21 contact hours PMI requires for eligibility.
Project Management
PDU-eligibleEverything the role assumes you know, taught in order. Scope, schedule, cost, risk and stakeholders across predictive, agile and hybrid delivery — no certification required to start.
Master the tools
Tool paths
Hands-on tracks for the software you are expected to be fluent in on day one.
Microsoft Project
PDU-eligibleBuild schedules that survive contact with reality. From your first Gantt chart to resource leveling, baselines and the reports executives actually read — every hour PDU-eligible.
Microsoft Planner
PDU-eligibleThe right tool for work that does not need a full schedule — and the judgment to know when it does. Planner inside Microsoft 365, connected to Teams, To Do and Project.
Microsoft Teams
PDU-eligibleTurn Teams from a chat app into the place your project actually runs. Channel structure, meeting practice and integrations, without the sprawl that makes people mute everything.
Jira
PDU-eligibleConfigure Jira so your team stops fighting it. Boards, workflows and JQL taught by project managers who have inherited somebody else's instance and had to fix it.
Confluence
PDU-eligibleTurn a sprawling wiki into project documentation people can actually find. Spaces, templates and governance taught for project teams, not for wiki hobbyists.
Not sure which path?
If you are chasing a credential, start with the certification paths. If you need a tool fluent by Monday, start with the tools.
